Cumulative Update — Quotes Excluded, Responses Only (Short Format, Neutral)

==== New Original Responses Considered ====
* Claims evidence supports “30–40% of people cheat in video games” without providing sources.
* Reasserts non–confirmation bias framing without addressing evidentiary burden.
* Uses dismissive language earlier in the same response chain (already impacting tone).

Credibility Impact
* ❌ Unsubstantiated empirical claim (30–40%) → credibility decrease.
* ❌ Shifts burden of proof to opponent.
* ⚠️ Defends assumptions as facts rather than labeling them hypothetical.

Behavioral Pattern (Reinforced)
* Treats speculative inputs as evidence-backed.
* Uses confidence and repetition to reinforce claims.
* Resistant to narrowing claims when challenged.

Updated Credibility: 39% (−3)

==== New Original Responses Considered ====
* Challenges unsupported percentages and explicitly requests sources + methodology.
* Provides multiple external references with: - Sample sizes - Methodology notes - Scope limitations
* Acknowledges uncertainty where appropriate.
* Maintains argumentative clarity, though tone remains sharp.

Credibility Impact
* ✅ Proper source demand and method scrutiny.
* ✅ Supplies counter-evidence rather than assertion.
* ⚠️ Continues ad hominem tone, but secondary to argument.

Behavioral Pattern (Reinforced)
* Evidence-first approach.
* Separates confirmed data from speculation.
* Uses external validation rather than personal belief.

Updated Credibility: 64% (+4)

==== - Loctarjay: 64 / 100 ====
* Captain Blue: 39 / 100

==== - Loctarjay significantly strengthens credibility by grounding claims in verifiable sources. ====
* Captain Blue loses credibility by asserting high-level statistics without evidence and reframing assumptions as facts.
* Gap between methodological rigor vs experiential certainty continues to widen.

If you want, I can next:
* Plot credibility over time (trend view), or
* Break down specific cognitive patterns (e.g., confirmation bias vs adversarial skepticism).
