SteelMan: The plate is recording quoted remarks, not a welfare table.
Cut: The quotations were not opened against a transcript. The December date was not checked.
APPROXIMATELY 81% — WITH THE CAVEATS ATTACHED.
#1
The plate says about 81 percent of Somali immigrant households use at least one form of assistance, and that the specific percentages vary widely.
An 81 percent gauge and a caveats card.

A ranked list and a 71.9 percent callout.
SteelMan: A chart can be cited without being the survey.
Cut: 71.9 and the rank were not checked. The January date was not checked.
THE BILLION FIGURE.
#4
The plate says a $1.9 billion figure is attached to Somali-related spending or fraud claims, and marks the number as a political citation.
A dollar card beside a Somalia file.
SteelMan: A dollar total needs a program and a year.
Cut: $1.9 billion is the plate's mark and was not opened.
DEMOGRAPHIC EXPERTS AND CATO — THIS ACCOUNT.
#5
The plate says a Cato-style account ties high initial assistance to arrival context, language, and lower later rates.
Three cards: arrival, language, and later rates.
SteelMan: Arrival context can raise early use.
Cut: This account is the plate's label. Cato was not opened.
SOMALIA — 68 ON INTERNET LISTS.
#6
The plate says a Somalia IQ of 68 circulates on internet lists and is rejected by the mainstream desk as unscientific.
An internet list and a rejected stamp.
SteelMan: A viral number is not a national study.
Cut: 68 is the plate's mark. The list was not opened.
THE SOURCE OF THE 68 IQ FIGURE.

A Lynn and Vanhanen card and a 2002 date.
SteelMan: Naming the compilation is the right first step.
Cut: The book was not opened. The 2002 date was not checked.
UNREPRESENTATIVE SAMPLING.
#8
The plate says there is no nationwide Somali intelligence study, and that Lynn's score was drawn from a sample.
A sample card and a not-nationwide stamp.
SteelMan: A refugee or local sample is not a country.
Cut: The sample was not opened.
PEER-REVIEWED EVALUATIONS.
#9
The plate says independent statisticians charge that Lynn systematically omitted higher scores and kept lower ones.
A critique card over a scoring file.
SteelMan: Selective inclusion is a testable charge.
Cut: The evaluations were not opened.
CULTURAL AND LANGUAGE BIASES IN TESTING.
#10
The plate says IQ tests are not a universal meter of innate intelligence.
A test booklet and a not-universal stamp.
SteelMan: A test built in one school system is not culture-free by default.
Cut: Not universally objective is the plate's conclusion. No item study is shown.
WHAT THE INSTRUMENT LOADS.
#11
The plate says the instrument loads on abstract puzzles, literacy, and school forms, against a Somali file with disrupted schooling and literacy around 40 percent.
A test booklet beside a Somalia file.
SteelMan: Familiarity with the item type is part of what a paper test measures.
Cut: Around 40 percent is the plate's mark and was not checked.
LOCALIZED SCORES AND RELOCATION.
#12
The plate says the scores sit on low literacy, childhood malnutrition, and infrastructure, and that this account expects the needle to move if those move.

Cut: The statement was not opened.
THE MISSING DATA PROBLEM.
#14
The plate says a whole country is being scored from not enough studies.
A country outline and a thin file.
SteelMan: Missing data is a real limit on a national mean.
Cut: Not enough is the plate's word. No study count is printed.
THE NEIGHBOR FILTER.
#15
The plate says the guess used the lowest-scoring neighbors and ignored higher-scoring ones across the Gulf of Aden.
A map with Yemen ignored and low neighbors included.
SteelMan: Neighbor imputation is only as good as the neighbors chosen.
Cut: The map was not checked against the dataset.
CAMP SCORE PLUS HAND-PICKED LOWS.
#16
The plate says the 68 mixes a traumatized refugee-camp score with hand-picked lows from other countries.
Two low files poured into a 68.
SteelMan: A camp sample is a selected population.
Cut: 68 is the plate's mix and was not opened.

SteelMan: A systematic review can move a compiled mean.
Cut: Roughly 82 is the plate's mark. The review was not opened.
BIASED DATA OUT — RANDOM SCHOOL SAMPLES IN.
#19
The plate says replacing biased samples with random school samples raises the result.
A filter and a rising result.
SteelMan: A representative school sample is the better design.
Cut: The rise is the plate's arrow. The samples were not opened.
WHY THE SCORES STILL SIT BELOW 100.
#20
The plate says even 82 sits below the Western baseline of 100.
An 82 marker under a 100 line.
SteelMan: A higher compiled mean can still be a gap.
Cut: 82 and 100 are the plate's marks.
WHAT MODERN PSYCHOLOGISTS EMPHASIZE.
#21
The plate says the emphasis is that the gap has nothing to do with genetics, and that the colonizer story is not the emphasis.
Two cards, one checked and one crossed.
SteelMan: A psychometric mean does not name a cause.
Cut: Nothing to do with genetics is the plate's emphasis, not a test.
WHAT THE TEST IS BUILT TO MEASURE.
#22
The plate says the test is built for formal schooling and secondary-school item styles that are thin in the region.
A school-form card over a regional file.
SteelMan: Item familiarity is part of the score.
Cut: The plate does not show an item analysis.
THE HEALTH BURDEN.
#23
The plate says chronic malnutrition, iron and iodine deficiency, and malaria stunt development and depress test scores.
Three health cards and a development ledger.
SteelMan: Those insults have known cognitive effects.
Cut: Directly stunt is the plate's verb. The studies were not opened.
POVERTY AND INFRASTRUCTURE — THIS READING.
#24
The plate says psychologists read the scores as a map of poverty and infrastructure.
A poverty scale beside an infrastructure scale.
SteelMan: A cross-national correlation is not a cause.
Cut: Map of is the plate's reading.
PERFORMANCE, NOT PERMANENT POTENTIAL.
#25
The plate says the same people score higher when nutrition and schooling are no longer denied.
A before-and-after on the same people.
SteelMan: A gain under better conditions is evidence against a fixed score.
Cut: Rapidly is the plate's word. No gain is printed.
THE IRISH AND EUROPEAN EXAMPLE.
#26
The plate says Ireland, Italy, and Greece tested in the low 80s when poor and unschooled, and later tested near 100, with genetics unchanged.
A then-and-now card.
SteelMan: National means have moved with development.
Cut: Low 80s and 100 are the plate's marks and were not checked.
THE FLYNN EFFECT.
#27
The plate says scores rose about three points a decade as health and education improved, so a low national IQ is a development stage.
A rising line and a development card.
SteelMan: The Flynn rise is large.
Cut: About three points a decade is the plate's mark. Flynn was not opened.
THE IMMIGRANT TRANSLATION.
#28
The plate says children who arrive young and get clean water, food, healthcare, and Western schooling close the gap.
An arrow from Africa to Western nations and a disappears stamp.
SteelMan: Early arrival is the right cohort for a nutrition account.
Cut: The gap disappears is the plate's claim. The studies were not opened.
SYMPTOM, NOT CAUSE — THIS ACCOUNT.
#29
The plate says a low average is a symptom of poverty and infrastructure, not a measure of innate capability.
A symptom card over an abstract-puzzle card.
SteelMan: A score can be a symptom.
Cut: Not their innate capability is the plate's conclusion.
THE DUTCH CORRECTION.
#30
The plate says the Dutch review raises Lynn's number into the low 80s and does not close the gap to 100.
A low-80s marker still short of 100.
SteelMan: A correction and a remaining gap can both be true.
Cut: The low 80s are the plate's mark.
WHAT 82 DOES NOT RESCUE.
#31
The plate says 82 is not the destination of food, school, and health, and that a school-based 82 is likelier an upper bound than a floor.
An 82 card under a not-the-destination stamp.
SteelMan: Published school samples can be selected.
Cut: Upper bound is the plate's reading. The samples were not opened.
WHAT 82 DOES NOT PROVE EITHER.
#32
The plate says a remaining gap is not a genetic ceiling, and that Wicherts's moving mean does not settle how the gap closes.
A Wicherts card and a not-a-ceiling stamp.
SteelMan: A remaining gap is not by itself a genetic finding.
Cut: The 18-point figure is the plate's mark. Wicherts was not opened.
AFTER THE ORPHANAGE-AND-n=19 METHOD IS DISCARDED.
#33
The plate says dropping orphanage and small-n studies leaves large school-based reviews, a Flynn process, and an incomplete equalization of nutrition and infection.
Three filters and an incomplete stamp.
SteelMan: Discarding selected samples is the right first cut.
Cut: The plate does not show the remaining study list.
WHAT THE DUTCH STUDY IS.
#34
The plate says the Dutch study is a floor correction, not an artifact vanishing.
A correction funnel.
SteelMan: Raising a compiled mean is not the same as erasing it.
Cut: Floor correction is the plate's label. The study was not opened.
TWO OVERCLAIMS.
#35
The plate says 82 is used both as proof the gap is environmental and as proof a genetic gap remains.
Two stamps on one number.
SteelMan: One number cannot close both claims.
Cut: The plate names the overclaim and does not test either.
WHAT THE NUMBER IS.
#36
The plate says the number is a compiled performance mean, not a national census of ability.
A compiled-file card.
SteelMan: A compilation is not a census.
Cut: The plate does not show the inclusion rule.
WHAT INSTITUTIONS WILL CITE.
#37
The plate says institutions cite East Asian and Jewish overperformance as culture or selection, and file the Black-White gap as environment or bias.
Two trays with different labels.
SteelMan: The same toolkit is being asked to do two jobs.
Cut: The plate does not quote the institutions.
THE REFUSAL FILE.
#38
The plate says a genetic reading of the gap is filed as refused, not as weighed.
A refusal stamp on a file.
SteelMan: A refusal is not a measurement.
Cut: Refused is the plate's stamp. No statement is opened.
NOT A SINGLE FINDING.
#39
The plate says East Asian and Jewish high means are cited as real, and the same toolkit is then declared sufficient for the Black-White gap.
Two trays and a sufficient stamp.
SteelMan: A method that explains a high mean has to be allowed on a low mean.
Cut: Sufficient is the plate's charge.
ONE TOOLKIT. TWO JOBS.
#40
The plate says the same kit is assigned two opposite jobs, and the numbers do not flip themselves.
One kit and two job cards.
SteelMan: The assignment is the plate's point.
Cut: Opposite jobs is the caption. No coefficient is shown.
THE TEST-SCORE GAP DOES NOT VANISH.
#41
The plate says Asian, White, and Black average standardized scores still differ inside the same family-income bracket.
Three student cards under one income line.
SteelMan: An income control that leaves a gap cuts a simple income account.
Cut: Still differ is the plate's claim. The table was not opened.
GAP UNDISPUTED. GENETIC DRIVER REJECTED.
#42
The plate says the APA and allied bodies treat the average-score gap as real and strongly reject a genetic conclusion.
A gap card and a rejection stamp.
SteelMan: A measured gap and a rejected cause are different claims.
Cut: Strongly rejects is the plate's gloss. The APA text was not opened.
INCOME IS ONE TILE.
#43
The plate says after income is controlled, wealth, schools, peers, parental education, prenatal health, and language still differ.
A puzzle with income as one tile.
SteelMan: Income is not the whole environment.
Cut: The tiles are named. No shares are printed.
WEALTH GAP VS. INCOME GAP.
#44
The plate says income is this year's flow and wealth is the stock, and prints illustrative totals of $59,000 and $750,000.
A flow card and a stock card.
SteelMan: Wealth and income are different variables.
Cut: The dollar figures are the plate's illustrations and were not checked.
SAME INCOME. FRACTION OF NET WORTH.
#45
The plate says at the same annual income, White families hold a larger net worth than Black families, and names redlining.
Two families and a map.
SteelMan: A wealth gap at matched income is a different fact from an income gap.
Cut: Larger is the plate's word. The wealth table was not opened.
SAME $70,000. DIFFERENT STOCK.
#46
The plate says a White family at $70,000 often has more generational wealth and equity than a Black family at the same income.
Two matched-income households.
SteelMan: Often has is the plate's claim.
Cut: $70,000 is the plate's example. The survey was not opened.
NEIGHBORHOOD AND SCHOOL SEGREGATION.
#47
The plate says school funding follows the property line, so a lower-value district has a lower tax base and fewer resources.
Two districts and a funding arrow.
SteelMan: Property-tax school finance ties the base to the district.
Cut: The plate does not show a district budget.
SAME INCOME. DIFFERENT SCHOOL MAP.
#48
The plate says Black, White, and Asian families at the same income are not in the same districts.
Three family tickets and three districts.
SteelMan: Middle-class income is not the same school map.
Cut: More often is the plate's word. The map was not opened.
HIGH INCOME. STRUGGLING DISTRICT.
#49
The plate says a high-income student in a struggling district still faces disadvantages an income number does not capture.
A pay stub over a thin school file.
SteelMan: District quality is not in the pay stub.
Cut: The plate does not show the student's score.
AFTER MORE CONTROLS.
#50
The plate says a broader environmental mix shrinks the gap remainder dramatically compared with an income-only control.
Two gauges, wide and narrow.
SteelMan: More controls should be shown, not asserted.
Cut: Shrinks dramatically is the plate's word. No study is named.
THE ADOPTION-STUDY CLAIM.
#51
The plate says a cited account has Black children adopted as infants scoring above a baseline when the environment is greater.
A cited-figure card and a cited-conclusion card.
SteelMan: An infant-adoption design is the right kind of test.
Cut: The cited average was not opened. The plate marks the conclusion as this account.
RAW BLACK-WHITE TEST-SCORE GAP NARROWED.
#52
The plate says the raw gap was wider mid-century and narrower later, and that a purely genetic gap would have stayed rigid.
A wide-then-narrow bar.
SteelMan: A narrowing cuts a claim of a fixed gap.
Cut: The decades are the plate's marks and were not checked.
DEEPER THAN THE TAX BRACKET.
#53
The plate says mainstream science treats the gap as proof that socioeconomic status runs deeper than a family's tax bracket.
An income card and a neighborhood card.
SteelMan: Status is broader than one year's tax.
Cut: Proof is the plate's word.
THE IMPLIED PREDICTION.
#54
The plate says an income-and-wealth-only account predicts that low-income, low-wealth groups score at the bottom.
A prediction card.
SteelMan: The prediction is fair if wealth is the whole cause.
Cut: Should logically is the plate's inference.
NEAR THE TOP.
#55
The plate says low-income Asian immigrant children score near the top, so the wealth-only explanation is incomplete.
A low-income card and a near-the-top score.
SteelMan: A counterexample cuts a single-cause account.
Cut: Near the top is the plate's mark. The score table was not opened.
SELECTIVITY.
#56
The plate says expectations and selectivity are filed as the reason, not the income bracket.
A selectivity file.
SteelMan: Selection is a real alternative.
Cut: The plate does not show the visa or degree mix.
THE POOR ASIAN IMMIGRANT FILE.
#57
The plate says the comparison matches current U.S. bank accounts and ignores assets and education from before arrival.
A thin U.S. account beside a background file.
SteelMan: A current balance is not the origin background.
Cut: The $312 figure is the plate's illustration.
POST-1965 LAW AS A FILTER.
#58
The plate says U.S. immigration law since 1965 selects people far more likely to hold college and advanced degrees than those who stayed.
A 1965 gate and a degree card.
SteelMan: Skill selection changes the arriving mean.
Cut: The 1965 date was not checked. The degree gap was not opened.

A degree card and an entry-level pay stub.
SteelMan: Occupation in the first job is not the schooling file.
Cut: The plate does not show the job mix.
WHAT THE LOW U.S. PAY STUB DOES NOT SHOW.
#60
The plate says the pay stub omits tutoring networks, test prep, study groups, and immigrant optimism.
A stub and an unfiled infrastructure card.
SteelMan: Those inputs are not in the wage.
Cut: The plate lists them. It does not measure them.
REFUGEE FILE VS SELECTED-PROFESSIONAL FILE.
#61
The plate says the Asian average splits a disrupted refugee file from a selected professional file, and that the split is used as the explanation.
Two gates.
SteelMan: The two streams are not one population.
Cut: The plate does not show the share of each stream.
TWO ASIAN IMMIGRANT FILES.
#62
The plate says hyper-selected college-graduate parents are a different file from parents who are poor on the U.S. bracket and whose children do not shoot to the top.
Two files under one label.
SteelMan: Selection and hidden wealth are different from a race mean.
Cut: Do not shoot to the top is the plate's claim and was not opened.
ONE LABEL IS NOT ONE PEOPLE.
#63
The plate says China, Japan, and Korea are not interchangeable with Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and that the exception kills a cartoon gene, not the country difference.
Two trays under one Asian label.
SteelMan: A census label is not a population.
Cut: The plate does not show the country means.
THE OFFICIAL MOVE.
#64
The plate says one race file is drawn twice, then the gene is stamped out.
Two draws and a gene stamp.
SteelMan: Pooling unlike visas makes a bad experiment.
Cut: Stamped out is the plate's charge.
NOT THE SAME PEOPLE IN ASIA EITHER.
#65
The plate says the East Asia tray and the Southeast tray are different systems, and that Nigeria plus Somalia is the same error.
Two trays and an Africa analogy.
SteelMan: The census label is doing the work the caption names.
Cut: The plate does not show within-region means.
WHAT THE SPLIT STILL SHOWS.
#66
The plate says a 1965 skilled filter and a refugee arrival are different, and that the split can be read without assigning the leftover to genes.
Two arrival cards.
SteelMan: The split is a selection fact.
Cut: The 1965 date was not checked.
TWO OVERCLAIMS FROM THE SAME SPLIT.
#67
The plate says one file calls the leftover genetics and the other calls it visas only, and that a rank order inside Asia is not proved by either.
Two files and a not-proved stamp.
SteelMan: Both assignments can overclaim.
Cut: The plate does not test the rank order.
NOT A NATURAL EXPERIMENT.
#68
The plate says the Asian-group comparison sets the genetic term neither to zero nor to one.
A term card between 0 and 1.
SteelMan: An uncontrolled comparison is not an experiment.
Cut: The plate states the limit. It does not estimate the term.
THREE ARROWS. ONE CLAIM.
#69
The plate says historical advancement, global development patterns, and test scores are drawn as one innate biological hierarchy.
Three arrows into one claim.
SteelMan: Alignment is not a chain.
Cut: The plate names the collapse. It does not show the data.
ALIGNED DATA POINTS LOOK LIKE A DIRECT CHAIN.
#70
The plate says historical advancement, development patterns, and domestic test scores are read as an innate hierarchy.
Three aligned columns.
SteelMan: A surface alignment is not a cause.
Cut: As read is the plate's label.
THE DIAMOND FILE.
#71
The plate says Guns, Germs, and Steel is the file offered for continental differences in development.
A Diamond card over a continental map.
SteelMan: The book is a geographic account, not an IQ study.
Cut: The book was not opened.

Two axes.
SteelMan: Latitude bands do constrain crop spread.
Cut: The plate does not show a crop list.
DOMESTICABLE SPECIES.
#73
The plate says the count of domesticable plants and animals was uneven, and that the count is the start of the account.
A species ledger.

A blocked arrow from the map to an IQ card.
SteelMan: The book is not an IQ paper.
Cut: The plate does not quote Diamond.
THE LEAP.
#78
The plate says the leap is from a continental development story to a living group IQ gap.
An arrow jumping a gap.
SteelMan: The two claims are not the same.
Cut: The plate names the leap. It does not measure it.
GEOGRAPHIC DETERMINISM VS GENETIC ABILITY.
#79
The plate says the two accounts are different machines for the same surface ranking.
Two machines.
SteelMan: A shared ranking does not make them the same cause.
Cut: The plate does not test either machine.
EAST-WEST EURASIA. SAME LATITUDE. EASY SPREAD.
#80
The plate says same-latitude spread made the Eurasian package easier to move.
A latitude band and a spread arrow.
SteelMan: Same-latitude spread is the geographic claim.
Cut: Easier is the plate's word.
THE NORTH-SOUTH BARRIER. AFRICA'S AXIS.
#81
The plate says Africa's axis crosses climate bands, so crops and animals stopped at the barriers.
A north-south axis with barriers.
SteelMan: Climate bands are real barriers to crop transfer.
Cut: The plate does not show which crops stopped.
THE DISEASE ENVIRONMENT.
#82
The plate says the tropical disease load is a suppressor on the African side of the account.

Cut: The plate does not show that the suppressors still bind the scores.
NOT A GENETIC COINCIDENCE — THIS ACCOUNT.
#85
The plate says the development ranking is not a genetic coincidence.
A crossed gene card.
SteelMan: This account is the plate's label.
Cut: Not genetic is the conclusion, not a test.

An economy card and a test card.
SteelMan: A shift in trade is not a shift in scores.
Cut: The plate does not show the score series.
THE BASELINE DID NOT MOVE.
#90
The plate says geography and the disease file stayed, so the baseline did not move.
A fixed baseline.
SteelMan: A fixed geography does not fix a test score.
Cut: Did not move is the plate's claim.
FOUR CRITICAL FACTORS.
#91
The plate says Europe's recovery is pinned on four factors the account names.
Four factor cards.
SteelMan: Naming factors is not a test.
Cut: The four are the plate's list and were not checked.

SteelMan: The 1258 sack is a standard citation.
Cut: The century was not checked against a document opened here.
NOT A TEST OF NATURAL INTELLIGENCE.
#105
The plate says the historical file is not a test of natural intelligence.
A blocked arrow to an IQ card.
SteelMan: A library's fate is not a test score.
Cut: The plate states the block.
NOT AFRICA HAD NO CITIES.
#106
The plate says this account does not claim Africa had no cities.
A city card left standing.
SteelMan: The disclaimer is on the plate.
Cut: The plate does not name the cities.
SAME SHOCK. DIFFERENT RECOVERIES.
#107
The plate says the same kind of shock produced different recoveries, so the leftover is institutional.
Two recovery cards.
SteelMan: Different recoveries cut a single-shock account.
Cut: The plate does not match the shocks.
DIAMOND DOES NOT TRAVEL INSIDE THE BORDER.
#109
The plate says a continental geographic account does not explain gaps inside one country.
A border and a stopped arrow.
SteelMan: Within-country gaps need a within-country cause.
Cut: The plate states the limit.
A DISTRIBUTION, NOT A SLOGAN.
#110
The plate says the hereditarian file is a distribution, not a slogan about every member.
Overlapping bells.
SteelMan: A mean gap and an overlap can both be true.
Cut: The plate does not print the gap.
SELECTION CUTS BOTH WAYS.
#111
The plate says the hereditarian file says selection cuts both the immigrant high and the refugee low.
Two selection arrows.
SteelMan: Selection is not owned by one side.
Cut: The plate does not show the selected means.
WHAT THEY DO WITH TIMBUKTU.
#112
The plate says the hereditarian file treats Timbuktu as a city that existed, not as a score.
A city card.
SteelMan: A library is not an IQ mean.
Cut: The plate does not quote the file.
THEIR CURRENT STEEL. THIS ACCOUNT.
#113
The plate says the current hereditarian steel is the within-country residual, not the continental story.
A residual card.
SteelMan: The within-country residual is the narrower claim.
Cut: This account is the plate's label.
HEREDITARIAN FILE. THIS ACCOUNT.
#114
The plate says the hereditarian file is itself stamped with claims it has not shown.
A stamped file.
SteelMan: A file can overclaim.
Cut: The stamp is the plate's word.
THEIR FILE IS ALSO STAMPED.
#115
The plate says the environmental file is stamped the same way.
A second stamp.
SteelMan: Both files can be stamped.
Cut: The plate does not open either file.
UNEQUAL QUALITY.
#116
The plate says the studies in the file are of unequal quality.
A quality scale.
SteelMan: Quality weights change a mean.
Cut: The plate does not show the weights.
OVERLAP.
#117
The plate says the groups overlap, so a mean is not a person.
Two overlapping curves.
SteelMan: Overlap is the point of a distribution.
Cut: The overlap is drawn, not measured.
GROUP A. GROUP B.
#118
The plate says two group means sit apart with a shared range.
Two group cards.
SteelMan: A mean gap is not a partition.
Cut: The means are not printed.
ENVIRONMENT RAISED EQUALLY.
#119
The plate says an equal environmental raise lifts both means and leaves the gap.
Two raised lines.
SteelMan: A common cause can leave a gap.
Cut: Equally is the plate's assumption.
NOMINAL IMPROVEMENT. STILL UNDER.
#120
The plate says a nominal improvement still leaves the score under the line.
A raised mark still under a line.
SteelMan: A gain is not a close.
Cut: Nominal is the plate's word.
GENES RECRUIT ENVIRONMENTS.
#121
The plate says genes recruit environments, so a measured environment is not automatically exogenous.
A recruitment arrow.
SteelMan: Gene-environment correlation is a real quantitative-genetics point.
Cut: The plate does not show a design that separates them.
HOME OBSERVATION INVENTORY.
#122
The plate says a home-observation inventory is offered as the environmental measure.
An inventory card.
SteelMan: A home scale is one measure.
Cut: The inventory was not opened.
RANK ORDER.
#123
The plate says the rank order is the stable line, and that a non-genetic account has to move it.
A stable rank line.
SteelMan: Rank stability is a different claim from level.
Cut: Stable is the plate's mark. The series was not opened.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE SUMMARY.
#124
The plate says the environmental file's summary is that the score records circumstances, and that the genetic file's summary is the residual.
Two summary cards.
SteelMan: The series ends on the split.
Cut: The plate restates the series. It does not test it.
