It may point toward an important claim, but the main evidential weight belongs to the canonical item named elsewhere in the article.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Existing Governance Note</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\nThis row overlaps canonical item `E-MAL-3-1` and should not carry independent Bayes factors.
