Limitations and assumptions

Coverage is limited to the supported topic table. Its stored notes and reference labels do not supply a complete scholarly source, bibliography, current assessment or live lookup. Read the limitations token where available and verify claims against the appropriate text or evidence.

All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse evidence arrays fail validation; the specific bounds and alignment requirements are stated above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful result reporting false, no matches or missing evidence.
