Search the graph by meaning. Each result carries its current verdict; open one to see its decomposition, provenance, and the reasoning behind the assessment.

Claims reporting surveys, polls, or structured elicitations of what experts (researchers, clinicians, practitioners) believe or estimate on a question — including probability assignments, degrees of agreement, and how opinion varies by discipline. Covers the survey result itself, not the object-level question the experts are asked about.

Most theoretical computer scientists believe that P is not equal to NP.

In a 2024 survey of 168 experts (mostly epidemiologists and virologists), respondents on average assigned substantially higher probability to a zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2 (~77%) than to a lab-leak origin (~21%).
