AI critic verdicts

  • agroecologist · plausible

    “Tritrophic Bt toxin passage to Chrysoperla carnea via prey is documented in peer-reviewed literature; mechanism, direction, and mortality figures are biologically consistent.”

  • entomologist · plausible

    “Tritrophic Cry1Ab passage to Chrysoperla carnea via susceptible prey is biologically documented; mortality difference (62% vs 37%) is consistent with published Hilbeck et al. laboratory bioassay findings.”

This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
