In the record, not in the score. 156 sentences from the official text. The selection rule did not choose it, so it does not count towards the score. How transcripts are chosen
Fact or Fluff
Supported6Partly supported3
9 claims checked against independent sources, chosen by a fixed rule (every material claim (one that supports an argument, a policy or an attack) in the transcripts that count towards a score; in other transcripts, up to 10 claims spread evenly across each; plus any claim an emotional passage relies on). 7 more were found but not checked yet; they do not count.
Quotes leave out filler sounds and repeated words. Words in [square brackets] correct a transcript that misheard or misspelt them. The transcript keeps every word as published.
