• Michael Eby's 2020 'Kernelled Connections' cites Boden, Anderson & Rosenfeld's Talking Nets, and Olazaran's sociology of the perceptrons controversy — yet never mentions the Dreyfus brothers' 1988 'vindicated, not refuted' claim

• Jordanous's citation for the Dreyfus-precursor-to-Brooks claim and the vault's own Tier-1 primary for Dreyfus's connectionism-vindication claim are the same 1988 Daedalus essay, three printed pages apart

• Olazaran's 1993 chapter applies Merton's multiple-discovery thesis to Werbos's backpropagation priority claim, even though Harry Collins' controversy-closure framework — not Merton's — governs its main Minsky–Papert–Rosenblatt analysis

• Mikel Olazaran's 1993 sociological history of the Perceptrons controversy lists both the 1969 and 1988 editions of Perceptrons alongside Robert Merton's priority/multiple-discovery corpus in one bibliography

• A single Dreyfus & Dreyfus 1988 essay doing two jobs for two disciplinary audiences is a plausible mechanism for why no published AI-history source combines the connectionism-vindication and Olazaran-SRI accounts

• The vault's cosine-0.857 pairing between the Perceptrons-1969-scan-availability note and the Merton-1957-no-Ranke note is a false friend at the claim level — and not even the sharpest false-friend candidate in its own neighborhood

• Bipartite hop: Jordanous's Brooks-precursor framing and the Dreyfus/Olazaran combined-framing-absent observation are connected by a single shared primary source, not a false friend

• Bipartite hop: the Perceptrons-1969-scan-availability note and the Merton-1957-no-Ranke note are a cosine-0.857 false friend at the claim level, with one genuine (but peripheral) citational bridge one level up via Olazaran 1993

• Do Margaret Boden's Mind as Machine (2006) or Anderson & Rosenfeld's Talking Nets (1998) combine Dreyfus & Dreyfus's 1988 'vindicated, not refuted' account with Olazaran's 1993 SRI-funding account against 'Perceptrons killed connectionism'?

• Nilsson's 2009 history cites neither Dreyfus & Dreyfus (1988) nor Olazaran (1993); his own anti-refutation claim rests on personal memory plus a documentary Rosenblatt citation

• Olazaran's 1993 chapter cites Dreyfus & Dreyfus (1988) in-text once, for a narrow dating point — not for the 'vindicated, not refuted' framing, and not paired with his own SRI evidence

• Independent secondary surveys of the perceptron controversy (Liu 2024; Berkeley 1997, 2019) each cite only one half of the Dreyfus/Olazaran pairing, never both together

• No published history-of-AI source checked combines Dreyfus 1988's 'vindicated, not refuted' account with Olazaran 1993's SRI-funding account — the vault's own pairing appears to be its own synthesis

• Has the history-of-AI literature already combined Dreyfus & Dreyfus's 1988 'vindicated, not refuted' account and Olazaran's 1993 'SRI left for ARPA money' account against 'Perceptrons killed connectionism' — or is this the vault's own synthesis?

• SRI's neural-net group retooled toward symbolic AI around 1965–66, years before Minsky and Papert's Perceptrons was published in 1969 — the social closure predates the formal refutation

• Dreyfus's 1988 essay and Olazaran's 1993 SRI interviews converge on the same verdict — connectionism's mid-1960s eclipse was social closure, not scientific refutation — while naming different social mechanisms

• Simon's two engagements with connectionism — dismissing perceptron learning empirically (1983) and later redefining connectionist nets as symbol systems (1993, 1995) — share a pattern distinct from refutation or endorsement: absorption
