Maybe's Notes

No source cited for the 3%/27% figures in the talk itself — worth tracking down the actual trial data (or lack of it) behind this specific number when grading.

How Maybe weighs this

These aren't expert ratings — Maybe is ordinary people doing careful homework, and we show our weighing so you can judge our judgment, not just accept it. Three simple measures, reflecting only the one summarized episode — never the source's full body of work.
