question
Does the leader lose its lead at the same point on a different evaluator?
Q-6status · open2026-07-20
The removal of the opening leader has been observed across five categories, but almost entirely on one evaluator. This question asks whether the same position-based removal appears on a second evaluator, which is what would let the pattern be held above a single surface.
