The 0.88 cosine pairing between Schmidhuber's unhedged Leibniz prolepsis and Nicely's self-flagged memory-reconstruction caveat is not an evidentiary bridge, but names a real contrast in epistemic self-labeling

Garfield/Seglen's warning against journal-mean-citation-as-individual-proxy and Steck/Ekanadham/Kallus's warning against cosine-similarity-as-relatedness-proxy share the identical structure: a cheap scalar misapplied as a substitute for a harder judgment
