Scite Found the Papers That Contradicted the Claim Everyone Quotes
Supported or contradicted is a different question than cited. Scite answers it.
I was about to repeat a popular finding when Scite showed it had been contradicted more than supported.
It separates 'mentioned' from 'confirmed,' which a plain citation count blurs together.
I narrowed to well-indexed journals, because the long tail of preprint wasn't there.
The free tier capped how deep I could go, so I focused on the three claims that mattered.
I cited the confirming paper, not the famous one. That's the entire reason the tool exists.
