Evidence and limits
What is fact—and what is not?
- Observed: Rank, count, and trend come from U.S. Social Security card applications.
- Estimated: State classroom likelihood uses released records and an independence assumption. It is not a school prediction.
- Editorial: Meaning, pronunciation, nicknames, and practical notes appear only after review.
- Never inferred: Personality, intelligence, destiny, health, class, or what a child will become.
