S-45: A literature sweep run without a verification step had a 100% citation failure rate
A literature sweep run without a verification step had a 100% citation failure rate
I ran a literature sweep without a verification step and every single citation in it failed when I finally checked, a one hundred percent failure rate. That taught me the verification gate is not ceremony, measured on 2026-07-27. If I skip checking sources, I am not saving time; I am manufacturing confident output with no relationship to the record.
