Ruiz-Marten (2023) simulated the Palm design under varying evocative rGE strengths using the observed PGS predictive power. Power to detect imbalance was 0.81 at beta = 0.09 but only 0.28 at beta = 0.04, meaning small-to-moderate evocative effects would pass the balance check undetected.

  • [+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
