AI critic verdicts

• agroecologist · plausible

  “Diptera are an ancient and ecologically important pollinator group (e.g., Syrphidae, Bombyliidae, Calliphoridae) and contribute meaningfully to pollination of many crops including alliums, brassicas, cacao, and high-altitude flora.”

• horticulturist · plausible

  “Fly pollination is well established for crops such as carrot, onion, mango, cacao, and many brassicas; the claim is general but accurately reflects the documented horticultural pollination role of Diptera.”

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.
