Summary

A 20-word linkpost: a single sentence noting that juries give harsher penalties to criminals who harmed fewer people (scope insensitivity in sentencing), with a link to the SAGE paper. No commentary or analysis of Scott's own.

Why this score

Quality 47 · Solid. Linkpost. A bare one-line pointer to an interesting finding with no standalone content; scored at the linkpost floor, marginally above a pure admin post for surfacing a genuine scope-insensitivity result.

Claude’s paradigm shift 18 · None. Slight — the linked finding is interesting, but the post itself contributes no ideas.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. A bare one-line linkpost surfacing a genuine scope-insensitivity finding in jury sentencing; it points at a real-world (sentencing) domain but carries no standalone content, so minimal reach → RWI 2.
