1 prediction · 1 assertion · 1 insight · every statement was checked.

How they sound: speaking style how? →

No argument clarity score for Dr. Justin Larkin: 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.
