AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · implausible
“Source quote ('Arbuscules in grasses were generally larger') does not support the extracted claim that Glomus fasciculatus produces the 'largest interface area among tested species'; that superlative is not warranted by the comparative quote.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“AMF arbuscule formation in grass hosts (including wheat) is well-documented; the source quote supports larger arbuscules in grasses, consistent with the quantitative interface areas cited.”
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.
