← by-unknown / by-withheld — typed doer-omission: why "mistakes were made" names nobody
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-10.5 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -11 to -10.5
The result is on the helpful side of this metric's neutral point.
