  "evaluation": "Granting that narrow benchmarks and blind peer review are the main approaches in use, and that neither tests the open-ended parts of research reliably, the conclusion very probably follows. It is not certain, because smaller expert-graded efforts might fill some of the gap. Both premises fit the published benchmark designs and the peer-review consistency literature, but this pass did not catalogue every evaluation in use.",

  "evaluation": "Granting that long-horizon, expert-graded and replication evaluations exist and are informative, they still mostly fix the research question in advance, or they are small, one-off and expensive. Their existence shows the measurement gap is partial rather than total. That gives some, but only slight, support to the view that current evaluations do not measure open-ended research ability poorly.",
