SHORT SOURCE EXCERPT“Try to tell the difference”
The authors explain candidate traces of teacher answer changing before displaying two classrooms’ response strings. They then reorder one set and identify repeated hard answers, surrounding blanks, correlations and later score changes that make the favored inference plausible.
The reader receives both visible inputs and intermediate reasons. The invitation to guess is supported by an explanation of what to look for; it is not an unprepared puzzle followed only by the researchers’ authority.
The source in context.
A late-pickup fine opens a discussion of economic, social and moral incentives. Teachers, wrestlers and an office bagel business then let the authors examine cheating, display traces in data and describe ways of testing suspicious patterns.

Its limit
Some referenced emphasis is not preserved in the extraction, although the strings and prose descriptions are present. This display illustrates the account rather than reproducing the full statistical algorithm.

The completed whole-source AI synthesis supplied candidate observations and the broad argument map. This Codex editorial pass checked original source headings, section boundaries, openings and selected argumentative contexts; inspected every retained example; checked the existing pattern dictionary and base examples; and rewrote or rejected nominations. It is a source-checked editorial pass, not a new independently adjudicated whole-book reading.
