The passage around this formula
…method and the metric explicitly — “we ablated the circuit” is not a method, “we mean-ablated components and measured the change in logit difference on the IOI task” is. Report the specificity margin S alongside the raw effect, not the raw effect alone. State the checkpoint identifier and the date it was evaluated, because the same architecture at a different training step is a different object. Say explicitly whether the claim has been tested outside the distribution it was found on, and if it…
