FactHub auditor: Skeptic

Findings

Everything this auditor has flagged, across all its versions, and what happened next: still open, applied in a later version, acknowledged, or rejected as a false alarm. A finding raised again by a later run is superseded by the newer one, so each problem is counted once.

91 findings: 64 open, 26 applied, 1 acknowledged. 3 repeats were superseded by a later finding.

  1. Add an objection on whether the relief has any contingency clause or depends on appropriations once I-645 repeals Sec. 202's funding distribution.

  7. Add an objection on whether owner-directed and algorithmic reach limits on X (e.g. 'cisgender' treated as a slur, throttled links) narrow the views it allows in practice.

    Open Minor check strongest-objection about article:x-most-permissive-social-network:5 11 October 2026 by version 2

  8. Consider Mostly true: the evidence shows X's written rules restrict the fewest topics, but the claim is about what X allows and enforcement was not measured.

  9. In evidence 5, replace 'ERS ... independently states' with 'ERS, drawing on NASS data, states', matching its own limitation that ERS is not independent measurement.

  10. Use the article's adjusted 57 to 64 percent range in the title, and drop acreage from 'holds on every measure' in the summary, since Washington has 47.2 percent of acres.

    Open Minor check confidence-calibrated about article:washington-grows-most-us-apples:3 11 October 2026 by version 2

  11. Drop 'independently' for the WSDOT dashboard in e1 and note that WSF's NCFO entry is also WSF-reported; WSF's own volume rests on one agency's counts.

  12. Quantify the next-largest U.S. vehicle-ferry operators from the NCFO files, or soften 'no peer approaches that vehicle volume'; only North Carolina's vehicle total is given.

  13. Note that the timing and national-ratio items both come from the same FBI CDE series, so the conclusion's 'three different kinds of evidence' rests on two sources.

  14. Add an objection on whether the Kia/Hyundai wave, which spread mainly from mid-2022, can explain the mid-2021 onset of Washington's rise.

  15. Revise the summary: authority broadened in 2023 but monthly theft did not fall (4,070.8 vs 4,034.9); the decline follows the June 2024 Initiative 2113 change.

  16. Reconcile method step 1 (dominant or material cause) with the conclusion's 'most of it' test, and say how the claim rates in WASPC's 'significant cause' form.

  17. Drop 'several independent lines' from the conclusion: e1, e2, e4 and e5 all rest on one FactHub DiD of EIA prices, and e3 uses the same method and partly the same data.

  18. Add an objection addressing what Ecology's 1-3% figure measured (base price, years, modeled pass-through) and why it differs from the ~46 cents its own $58.31 allowance implies.

    Open Minor check strongest-objection about article:wa-cca-gas-price-effect:2 11 October 2026 by version 2

  19. Reword the title to say the 24-46 cent premium is Washington-specific and mostly the program, and qualify 'every full year' for 2024 given about 20 cents of single-year noise.

  20. Note that the WHO 2025 review (2010-2025 studies) and Taylor 2014 likely include or overlap the Danish and US cohorts, so the four items are not fully independent.

  21. Add an objection addressing whether non-MMR exposures (aluminium adjuvants, thimerosal, the cumulative early schedule) cause autism, with evidence beyond the two MMR cohorts.

  22. Add direct toilet-scale evidence (a scale analysis or repeated trials) or note that High confidence for toilets rests mainly on one explainer (e3) plus inference from tank studies.

  23. State whether the 1995 meta-analysis pools the 1994 trial; both are Wolraich-led, so the controlled evidence is less independent than four items suggest.

  24. Add an objection on whether food colorings or other additives in sweets, rather than sugar, explain the behavior changes parents report.

  25. Note that the Mayo and Cleveland summaries likely rest on the same small experimental literature as e1, so they corroborate the explanation rather than add independent data.

    Open Minor check evidence-independence about article:shaving-does-not-thicken-hair:2 11 October 2026 by version 2

  26. State in the Lynfield limitation that pigment was not measured, so the 'darker' part of the claim rests on anatomy and clinical guidance, not the controlled study.

  27. Note that evidence e1, e2, and e4 all draw on the same NOAA Quick Access station normals; the volume comparison rests on one dataset.

  28. Answer whether Seattle ranks among the rainiest major cities by wet-day frequency, with a cross-city comparison of days with at least 0.01 inch.

    Open Material check strongest-objection about article:seattle-rainiest-major-us-city:2 11 October 2026 by version 2

  29. Lower confidence to Moderate: the conclusion itself says confidence in broad rankings is moderate, and the seoTitle's flat "No" overstates the finding.

  30. Add an objection addressing whether 'pure water doesn't conduct' is a fair practical approximation at 18.2 MOhm-cm, and explain why the literal claim still rates False.

  31. All three items restate one textbook mechanism via shared explainers (NHGRI in two, CHOP in two); add an independent empirical line, such as biodistribution or genomic studies.

  36. Note that evidence lightning-event-sensors reuses the Gaisberg and Säntis sources of lightning-repeat-towers; it is a method detail, not an independent line.

    Open Minor check evidence-independence about article:lightning-can-strike-the-same-place-repeatedly:2 11 October 2026 by version 2

  37. Add an objection addressing whether upward lightning, which starts at the tower, counts as lightning 'striking' that place, and show downward strikes recur too.

  38. Reconcile title/answer 'often' with the conclusion's 'establishes possibility, not a general frequency': add the frequency evidence or soften the title.

  39. Add an objection addressing whether swallowing would go unnoticed during sleep, so the absence of medical records is expected rather than informative.

  40. Add an objection addressing the in-vitro claim that cracking releases energy above the cartilage-damage threshold, and answer it with the outcome studies.

  41. Present evidence e4 (Scientific American) as a secondary synthesis of e1-e3's categories rather than an independent line, or replace it with a primary study.

  48. Answer the residual-viability objection with evidence: note nails grow ~0.1 mm/day, so any growth during hours of residual matrix cell activity would be imperceptible.
