0 supported 1 partly supported 0 contradicted 1 not yet assessed 1 not checkable as stated how the 3 claims stand · each chip opens the sources
2 predictions · 1 assertion · 2 opinions · 1 insight · 1 disclosure · 1 what if · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertion are the 3 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 1 names no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.
The record, in short
What the tape says about how David argues and how the claims held up. Everything they said, and everything said about them, is in the tabs below.
Expressed certainty vs assessment result
weighted support: a fully supported claim counts one, a partly supported claim counts half. Each filled bar is clickable and opens exactly those claims; "none yet" means nothing said at that certainty level has resolved yet
How they sound: speaking style how? →
271 words/min while actually speaking · 11.4 um and uh per 1k words
No argument clarity score for David Solomon: no usable question→answer exchanges on raw tape (a fair score needs 8+). We do not score a sample that small. Roundtable and news formats yield far fewer direct exchanges than interviews.
Measured by listening to the audio itself: 3,347 words across 1 episode of raw-level tape, transcribed verbatim with every um and uh kept, each one attributed only where the alignment onto our timed stream is unambiguous. These are measurements of speaking style. We do not rank them: across this corpus, fluency and argument quality are nearly uncorrelated (ρ≈0.2), and smooth talking does not signal clear thinking.
