Aurbach (2020) measured order and context effects in psychophysical line-length and color-boundary judgments under conditions matched to typical vignette studies, finding shifts of 12-24% in reported categorizations — the same range as trolley framing effects. Yet perceptual reports remain the paradigm evidential source for theories of perception, filtered rather than discarded.

  • [+9] net votes on the evidence link — whether this is good evidence here, not whether the claim itself is true
  • Af··· accurate, falsifiable, clear, novel, important — a capital is established, lowercase weak, unrated; no strip at all where nothing has been rated yet
  • [?] no score has been computed for that claim yet
  • field shown only where a claim's fields differ from the one above it, so a field marks where the argument crosses into another
