R0002/2026-03-13/C012/H1¶
Statement¶
All five sub-claims are accurate: Wardle and Derakhshan published the taxonomy in 2017 through the Council of Europe, it distinguishes three categories, and the basis is intent to harm.
Status¶
Current: Inconclusive
Supporting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC01-E01 | Confirms authors, year, publisher |
| SRC01-E02 | Confirms three categories |
| SRC04-E01 | Independent confirmation of publication details |
| SRC05-E01 | Independent confirmation of taxonomy categories |
Contradicting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC01-E03 | Framework uses two dimensions (falseness + intent), not intent alone |
| SRC02-E01 | Confirms two-dimensional structure |
| SRC03-E01 | Confirms falseness + intent as distinguishing dimensions |
Reasoning¶
H1 is supported for sub-claims 012a through 012d (authors, year, publisher, three categories) with very high confidence. However, sub-claim 012e (basis is "intent to harm") is an oversimplification. The framework actually uses two dimensions — falseness and intent to harm — to produce three categories. If intent to harm were the sole basis, there would only be two categories (harmful intent vs. not). H1 is marked inconclusive because 4 of 5 sub-claims are confirmed but the fifth is oversimplified.
Relationship to Other Hypotheses¶
Overlaps with H2 on sub-claims 012a-012d. Mutually exclusive with H2 on sub-claim 012e. H3 is independent — tests whether the publication details are wrong.
