Claim

The counted passage says that NBC aired an original Star Trek episode called "The Man Trap" on a day in 1966, but the excerpt alone does not state the exact 8 September date or establish whether "premiering" means the first broadcast of the series or only the episode's premiere.

Main unresolved issue: 2 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:837099de-af42-85fe-a2a3-6c01639b9a01

Not yet independently audited.This assessment depends heavily on modeling choices.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 0 of 4 review checks have been done.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The history distinguishes first broadcast from production order, noting the episode was sixth filmed but first broadcast. weight 1.800000 evidence

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed, primary source reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 3.600000 (the counted weights) = 3.600000 → probability 0.9734

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9255 to 0.9908, a spread of 0.0653.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
