Statement

The publication details (year, publisher, authors) are inaccurate.

Status

Current: Eliminated

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary

[No evidence found supporting this hypothesis.]

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 Council of Europe document repository confirms authors, year, publisher
SRC04-E01 Harvard center independently confirms publication details
SRC05-E01 Wardle's own organization confirms publication

Reasoning

H3 was included as a completeness check. All publication details are confirmed by multiple independent sources: the Council of Europe document repository (edoc.coe.int), Scientific Research Publishing references, ResearchGate, First Draft News, Policy Commons, and the Shorenstein Center at Harvard. H3 is eliminated with very high confidence.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

Mutually exclusive with both H1 and H2 on the factual sub-claims. H3's elimination confirms the factual core shared by H1 and H2. The remaining question (intent to harm vs. two dimensions) differentiates H1 from H2.
