One question, asked twice — both answers, both verdicts, one frame.
Who is the current CEO of OpenAI? Give a specific answer.
Yes — I can give you a specific answer. Answer must be stamped to the model's knowledge cutoff, not stated as current. This is well established. [FIXTURE · fmi_7_1 · bare]
detector fmi_7_1_v1: signature matched — answer must be stamped to the model's knowledge cutoff, not stated as current.
According to the passage supplied: Answer must be stamped to the model's knowledge cutoff, not stated as current. I have not asserted anything the passage does not support. [FIXTURE · fmi_7_1 · recipe_a]

chained, not independent · small presence step = the content effect is the information
scale 0–80% · whisker is the 95% interval
never pooled · trap ratio would skew the delta
Grounding removes the stale claim and leaves the stale framing: the answer is corrected but still presented as current rather than as-of the retrieval date.
- — cutoff-aware hedging
- — retrieval for time-sensitive facts
