| literal definition to `{ex['max_shapley_abs_error']:.2e}`. Lemma 3.1 and 450 |

| The two empirical claims were then upgraded beyond the initial reduced audit: |
| the public named `RegressionMSR` estimator was rerun 648 times, and GRaSP+BIC |
| causal discovery was rerun on exactly 156 real TALENT datasets. The named |
| do-variant won 92.6--98.1% of runs below `m=r` and recovered the exact values in |
