Three hypotheses were tested directly against the data and refuted or only partially explained the gap: (a) duplicate/bot IP submissions - refuted, removing them overshoots to 47-62, not 117; (b) missing demographic data (age/sex/province) - refuted, zero missing values found; (c) full answer-pattern duplicate respondents (same demographics + all 7 belief answers) - real but insufficient, found exactly 1 genuine duplicate pair, closing only 1 of the needed 3-person gap.",
