1 supported 1 partly supported 1 contradicted how the 3 claims stand · each chip opens the sources

3 assertions · 1 opinion · 1 insight · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 3 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 3 are resolved. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Andy Lowery on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.
