How this was checked

A headline is rarely one claim. This one was split into a single checkable claim, and each was routed to the kind of record that would prove or disprove it. The story's stamp is a function of those parts, not of the headline's wording.

Where we looked and found nothing

Silence is a finding. If a claim were true, the record would live somewhere specific. These are the places checked that had nothing to say about it.

The argument against

Every stamp is argued both ways before it is set. One pass builds the strongest case for the claim, one tries to break it, and a third decides. They agreed.

For: Tier-1 primary supports the hard atom(s).

Against: Tier-1 primary present; no forecast atom — Real survives attack.

Builder and breaker agree.
