  • Citations that do not support the precise claim
  • Original datasets that were never inspected
  • Confidence language stronger than the evidence
  • Contradictory evidence omitted from the narrative
  • Missing information treated as proof
  • AI synthesis that hides uncertainty
  • Professional presentation mistaken for reliability
