      "The black one joins nothing. It scores 0.407 against its own gold companion and 0.285 against this project’s common master, so one record holds two different drawings and neither is evidence about the other.",

      "Grayson Graham saved these two images while asking a local sign shop to reproduce the emblem on a motorcycle. They are not documents of a maker or a date: they are what the emblem looked like on somebody’s screen in March 2022, and where a picture was found says nothing about where the drawing came from.",
      "Measured, the two are not even one drawing. They score 0.407 against each other. The gold one is the museum drawing — 0.959 against the roundel Downtown Bend uses and 0.954 against the museum’s own February 2012 file, which is the same-artwork neighbourhood rather than a resemblance. The black one joins nothing: against the master this site gives away it is 0.285, the second weakest of seventeen.",
      "This record was filed as a specimen until 14 September 2026, and the gold file sat in the published group of drawings that measure as one artwork. It was demoted on the reasoning that a comparison group is a claim about the collection, and an image found on the internet is a claim about a search. The files, their hashes and their page stay exactly where they were."
