The passage around this formula
Sorting what stands on which footing is worth doing plainly rather than blending it into a closing flourish. Observed: the paper’s measured seventy-three-of-a-hundred-and-four primacy dominance, its SPEM protocol, its appendix regression coefficients and standard errors, and the exact absence of any attention-sink citation in the published camera-ready’s Related Work section or bibliography, all drawn from the primary source and confirmed directly against it. Derived: the binomial null-model calculation showing the measured effect is not a threshold artifact, computed once from the paper’s own stated sample size and threshold rule using nothing but arithmetic. Proposed: the sink-attributable…
