This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A passage of the document meets the proposition’s criterion. The record documents what the text states, in its register (fiction and satire are labelled); it is not evidence that the proposition is true and implies no influence on or from another text.
Date. Hearing day of the statement, as printed. Checked in a current copy; an archive capture was not available, so earlier bytes are not authenticated.
