Disputed The quote’s sentences are present in the Nature article, but the page dated 2026-02-24 is a multi-author COMMENT with 23 named individual co-authors, including "Kathrina Summermatter"; it is not attributed to Kathrin/Kathrina Summermatter alone. The stored quote also compresses non-contiguous text without marking omissions. Under the single-author rule, this must be treated as disputed rather than verified.
