AI Verified The PMC-hosted paper contains the stored sentence; author corrected from an individual coauthor to the article title. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 15d ago
Disputed The sentence is real and appears verbatim in the cited Science paper, including at the PMC source URL, but it is not attributed to Mark Zeller individually. PubMed and the paper PDF list Jonathan E. Pekar, Mark Zeller, and many other individual coauthors, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Mark Zeller quote.
