1 not checkable as stated how the 1 claim stands · each chip opens the sources

1 assertion · 1 opinion · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertion are the 1 claim: statements the public record can support or contradict. 0 are resolved, 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.

Disclosure
Pierre Paul: Experts repeatedly claimed We Hear You could not be built
“I started going to every single professor and every single professional who might have an expertise in this area, and I was told no so many times. I was told, really great idea, can't be done. Really great idea, we don't know where to start.”
