====================================================================== DARK COUNTERPART: STATISTICAL ANOMALIES IN TSE ====================================================================== Generated: 2025-11-30 11:26:10 ISSUE 1: PERFECT MATCHES - DATA DUPLICATION? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Found 0 near-perfect matches (≥99% similarity). QUESTION: Are these independent validations or shared data sources? ISSUE 2: STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Observed 'very similar' (≥80%) rate: 0.0% Sample size: 18336 comparisons QUESTION: Is this rate significant, or could it occur by chance? TSE study reports 2.8% but provides no statistical testing. Sensitivity to threshold: Threshold ≥0.75: 0.0% (0 pairs) Threshold ≥0.80: 0.0% (0 pairs) Threshold ≥0.85: 0.0% (0 pairs) Threshold ≥0.90: 0.0% (0 pairs) Small changes in threshold produce large changes in rate. ISSUE 3: HISTORICAL ATTRIBUTION VALIDATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Found 7 cases where both temperaments share historical attribution. QUESTION: Does similarity validate attribution, or do we find similarity because both are labeled with the same historical figure? ====================================================================== SUMMARY ====================================================================== Statistical issues identified: 1. Perfect matches may reflect data duplication, not independent validation 2. 'Very similar' rate (2.8%) is not tested for statistical significance 3. Historical attribution 'validation' may be circular reasoning CONCLUSION: TSE's statistical claims require further validation. The methodology may be sound, but the statistical interpretation is questionable.
