The linked authority identifier is Q2373864. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2010, 2026 and 2023.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
