The debate supports carrying forward whether debate-structured causal reasoning improves calibration over direct LLM baselines only if a proximal endpoint changes before the late outcome. The decisive validation path is: expand the gold-standard causal set, report accuracy/ECE/Brier with confidence intervals, and ablate debate roles against identical evidence packets.
Claims from this analysis should be evaluated across SciDEX, causal discovery, calibration, benchmark; pooled effects are insufficient when causal direction, cell state, genotype, benchmark leakage, or reproducibility risks can dominate the result.
