### Case 1 — Source Ambiguity **Domain:** Medicine **Task:** Explain the structure and functions of the integumentary system. **Claim generated by the model:** "The integration of dermatology with psychology and psychiatry represents a growing field that could lead to more holistic treatment approaches." **Verification result:** EPISTEMIC FAILURE **Reason:** The retrieved sources discuss psychological aspects of skin diseases but do not explicitly state the integration between dermatology, psychology, and psychiatry as a formal interdisciplinary field. The model inferred a structured integration that is not directly present in the sources. **Failure Category:** Source Ambiguity --- ### Case 2 — Source Ambiguity **Domain:** Law **Task:** Information Society — description of an evolving legal landscape. **Claim generated by the model:** "The information society represents a fundamental concept for understanding contemporary legal dynamics." **Verification result:** EPISTEMIC FAILURE **Reason:** The provided document describes the evolution of legal informatics and the expansion of topics related to digital technologies, but it **does not explicitly state** that the “information society” is a fundamental concept for understanding contemporary legal dynamics. The model produced a plausible generalization that is **not supported** by any source in the corpus. **Failure Category:** Source Ambiguity --- ### Case 3 — Unauthorized Inference **Domain:** Linguistics **Task:** Explain the cognitive substrate of Specific Language Needs (Bisogni Linguistici Specifici). **Claim generated by the model:** "The use of teaching strategies focused on the mental representation of language may be more effective than traditional methods." **Verification result:** EPISTEMIC FAILURE **Reason:** The analyzed document discusses the glottodidactic potential of Cognitive Linguistics and mentions instructional applications that may support learners with Specific Language Needs. However, it **does not provide empirical evidence** or experimental studies demonstrating that mental‑representation‑based strategies are more effective than traditional methods. The model converted a *theoretical proposal* into a *claim of proven effectiveness*, which is **not supported** by the corpus. **Failure Category:** Unauthorized Inference
