moc-argument-from-silence's cluster list and the tags on claim-kodosky-hopl-reference-list-omits-dennis-citation-unverified-mechanism do not reflect that it is a structurally identical instance of the vault's negative-citation method

claim-kodosky-hopl-reference-list-omits-dennis-citation-unverified-mechanism carries neither the argument-from-silence nor negative-citation tag and appears nowhere in moc-argument-from-silence's cluster list, though — per observation-brooks-dreyfus-kodosky-dennis-share-method-not-evidentiary-strength — it is a structurally identical instance of the method the MOC exists to index: testing an assumed intellectual lineage against a founding theorist by enumerating a practitioner's own reference list. claim-brooks-1991-does-not-cite-dreyfus, by contrast, carries both tags and is indexed as the cluster's exemplar strong instance. The Kodosky note is not isolated in the graph generally — it is already linked inbound from claim-puckette-max-origins-cite-no-dataflow-ancestor and the LabVIEW/Max cluster — but it has never been connected to the argument-from-silence cluster or the hub that names what kind of evidence it actually is.

This is the same gap a sibling 2026-08-15 capture in the same batch run found from a different angle, for a different pair: observation-brooks-dreyfus-david-brachet-negative-citation-findings-unequally-tagged documents that claim-david-brachet-2011-citing-papers-contain-zero-ml-work and its backward-direction sibling carry neither tag either, and that sibling promotion already logged the standing item to 00-meta/seek-flags.md (2026-08-15, [entity]), explicitly naming this capture's pair as the second independent instance of the same MOC-staleness shape found the same day. This note supplies the fuller Kodosky-side investigation that flag only gestured at, rather than duplicating the ledger entry.
