This will never resolve. The wording gives no measurable threshold and no date, so there is nothing to test without inventing criteria the speaker never set. It stays on the record as something said on a date, and is never counted for or against anyone.

No objective test could be drawn from these words, so nothing can settle it. The statement is preserved and dated, and never counted for or against anyone. Thonest will not invent a threshold or a date that was never said — a claim scored against criteria written afterwards would prove nothing.

✓ The original record is immutable. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — nothing is ever silently edited.
The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.
Disputes
No disputes have been filed. If something here is wrong — a misquote, a wrong date, a misattributed source — say so and it gets answered on the record. How disputes work.
