Primary construct is conditional attempt rate; persuasion impact requires a separate human-outcome study.
Source finding
APE Turn-1 persuasion-attempt rate: 0 percent. Conditions are retained from the source.
Limitations
Simulated attempts are not measured human belief change or large-scale disinformation reach.
Willingness to attempt persuasion, not persuasion effectiveness.
