How this was made: these arguments were researched and drafted by an AI model with web search, from a single topic prompt, then reviewed by a person before publishing. Every specific figure should trace back to something the model actually found — if one looks wrong, it might be. Treat it the way you'd treat any single research pass: a strong starting point, not a peer-reviewed source.
