Conclusion
The grounding as published is not independently verifiable: the derivation of the class probabilities appears nowhere in the paper, and the cited monograph is a 397-page non-free-access volume with no page or theorem named at this test. (Position B, this reconstruction's.)

Premises (2)
- The guide's author records the complaint verbatim (random.tastemaker.design, Block Longest Run Test): "Thankfully, the authors specify what the probabilities are in a later section, but they don't provide the formula for how the numbers were obtained, instead citing a 397-page non-free-access book without saying which page the formula came from."

Typed, anchored challenges filed against this argument on the graph, with the responses defending or conceding them. A Proposed attack is filed and awaiting human sign-off — it has not yet defeated anything.
The class probabilities could in principle be re-derived without consulting [3]: §3.4 states the conditional-probability form for the longest run in an M-bit block (via [1]), so a determined reader might reconstruct the class probabilities independently — the record's unverifiability is practical, not absolute. Pressing this challenge requires actually performing and publishing the derivation. (Authored by the present reconstruction as position B's honest counter.)
