• A 2013 'coin-size estimation' study was retracted after Simonsohn's forensics found its per-condition values too similar across experiments to be random samples (p<.000025)

• Verify the three primary sources behind the 'suspicious perfection' cluster: Fisher (1936) on Mendel, Maimonides on Sanhedrin unanimity, and Simonsohn's fabrication forensics

• Hirsch's arXiv trouble was two distinct events: administrators withdrew his CSH-fraud paper in December 2021, and he was separately banned from posting in February 2022

• Hirsch modeled his CSH-fraud critique on a 2009 Debessai et al. europium paper he argues is a confirmed precedent case of data alteration

• Hirsch and van der Marel's 2022 technical analysis concludes CSH's reported susceptibility data are a smoothly-varying spline plus a quantized artifact, not a genuine background subtraction

• Does Clarivate itself attribute the 2022→2023 Saudi-affiliated HCR count drop (109→76) to its tightened evaluation methodology, or is that link only SIRIS Academic's inference?
