Design
A published comment in the same journal and issue-year as the CASE papers, followed by an author's response from Shayer & Adey (JRST 30(8):1007, doi 10.1002/tea.3660300816). Recorded because the existence of a contemporaneous, independent, peer-reviewed objection to the CASE achievement claims is itself evidence about how settled the finding was; the archive should not let the CASE story be told as if no one objected at the time. Content not obtained — the two-page comment is paywalled at Wiley and has no abstract, preprint or repository copy.
Key findings
Not established. The comment is titled as a challenge to the CASE cognitive-acceleration and science-achievement analysis and drew a published author response, but its argument could not be read. Do not cite its content until someone reads it.
