Rationale

Rationale |
| Reliability |
Medium — a workshop at a top-tier venue (NeurIPS) organized by recognized researchers. However, it is a workshop description, not a research paper with quantitative findings. |
| Relevance |
Medium — provides qualitative corroboration that the safety-ethics divide was recognized as a problem at major venues as early as 2019, consistent with Roytburg & Miller's 2020-2025 quantitative analysis. Does not directly confirm or deny the specific numerical claims. |
| Bias flags |
Workshop organizers have a vested interest in framing the gap as significant (it justifies the workshop's existence). However, NeurIPS acceptance provides independent validation that the topic was considered important. |
