- group_buy_gwen — right so a photograph adds provenance and nothing about purity. it is worth having and it is not evidence of a number 19:38
evidence added, status unchanged means somebody did the work and the picture did not move. that is a real outcome
somebody did the work
blinded is better
checking i am not mad we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
reporting back later, three year old report
screenshots go in as screenshots and are labelled as such. the pdf is better and we take what exists, linked to the exact message
two reports disagree, so what actually counts as evidence for this log and what does not
nothing gets removed
evidence question not a vendor one what does evidence added, status unchanged actually mean in practice, or is that just me
blind and open submissions are marked differently because they are worth different amounts
checking i am not mad visible variance is a property of publishing your data, not of having worse data. that is the pin and it stands, logged with the date
