"searched": "Read the counted video passage and searched the original Matt Shumer post, an archived copy of that post, and independent coverage. Checked omitted time range, agent population, task instructions, communication baseline, sampling, and whether the report was an observation or controlled experiment. Material qualifiers are that this was one creator's anecdotal simulation, the agents were explicitly tasked to work together to survive, and the setup was described as somewhat leading; the evidence shows a reported clip rather than a controlled comparison of instructed versus uninstructed communication."
