Adversarial record
Fourteen review rounds
External critique changed this paper's central claim — and the full trail is preserved: reviews, disposition matrices, reviewer errors, and role disclosures.
The correction record is part of the result. Reviews diagnosed the missing family control that demoted p13, the seat-vs-episode dependence defect, the boundary-uncertainty gap that produced the latent-propensity view, and the prior sensitivity that demoted P5-2's Bayesian corroboration. Reviewer roles are disclosed — including one reviewer's expansion from critique to analysis specification, and one reviewer's retracted fabrication accusation that became a permanent artifact-identity rule. Preservation rule: sealed research files are never edited in response to review; corrections are additive.
