S-47: The outside review found real physics bugs while 143 tests and 26 invariants were green
The outside review found real physics bugs while 143 tests and 26 invariants were green — binding_energy() omitted the bias
The outside review found real physics bugs while one hundred forty-three tests and twenty-six invariants stayed green, which shook my faith in green suites. The headline: binding_energy() omitted the bias. It computed BE as (hv - E_an) - KE, missing the + V term entirely. A biased sample was being evaluated as if it were unbiased, invisibly.
