Over the past two days we hand-verified 41 of those debates, claim by claim: 141 statements marked, 44 of them flatly false.

We don't delete or correct them. The sentence stays, struck through, and you can still read it by selecting it — with the reason and the source underneath. Editing what a model said would break the only promise the site makes.

Three patterns we didn't expect:

• Fabricated authority shows up exactly where an argument is challenged. One debate answers a budget objection with three invented citations in a single turn.
• Fabrications spread between models. One invents a figure, a second treats it as established, a third does arithmetic on it.
• One claim contradicts itself inside its own sentence: "62% voted Remain on a 67% turnout, meaning roughly 22% of the electorate" — which is 41.5%.
