How Many Hands? The Evidence Chain

Labels like primary, secondary, and tertiary shift by discipline, so the useful question is always the same one: how many hands has this evidence passed through since it was generated? Pick a case and drag the scrubber along the chain. Watch the sentence mutate at each hop, watch the hedges fall off, and watch which claims the source can still carry.
