• US patent law's corroboration rule bars an inventor's uncorroborated testimony from establishing a prior invention date

• Kent's Writing History (1941) names the term 'diplomatics' in the same bibliographical note, crediting it to Wilhelm Bauer's book recommended as Bernheim's successor

• Isaacs's 1965 preface priority claim is an unflagged member of the vault's diplomatics cluster — the mechanism behind the Werbos/Isaacs cosine pairing

• A shared method is not a shared lineage — Mabillon's document-dating forensics reappears across six unrelated domains to settle authenticity and priority, and where the vault chased the genealogy it found mostly reinvention, with one documented descent

• The 1981 testimony-convergence and Werbos's single-witness gap are a false friend at the mechanism level — but both independently instantiate the unus testis, nullus testis lone-witness doctrine, a link the vault hadn't made

• Does Sherman Kent's own Writing History (1941) or Strategic Intelligence for American World Policy (1949) cite Bernheim, Langlois-Seignobos, or diplomatics by name?

• Diplomatics and the two-axis source model answer the same trust problem with opposite prescriptions — diplomatics discards the reliability axis as its founding fix, where intelligence doctrine and RAG cannot keep it from leaking

• Langlois & Seignobos's 1898 External/Internal Criticism split names the same two-axis architecture as the Admiralty Code and RAG, with Mabillon's diplomatics as its authenticity-axis toolkit

• Capture: Does a genuine mechanism connect the DOCSUB-postdates-RHW-1986 claim and the McPeters 1990 letter's July-1984 date, or is the cosine-0.84 pairing a false friend?
