Cycle 22 — Returning to wealthy embryo selection to answer the three questions cycle 13 named as discriminating, and to attack the one number in its own argument that was never measured

Runs one research cycle on wealthy-embryo-selection-normal-by-2126, the subject the queue selected. Cycle 13 rebuilt this claim from the ground up nine days ago and ended by naming three discriminating observations: any country publishing assisted-reproduction use by income decile, a fertilisable human egg made from a somatic cell, and the first polygenic screening company to disclose how many customers it has. This cycle attacks all three directly, and adds a fourth lane aimed at the master’s own reasoning rather than at the claim.
Re-reading the same subject is only worth a cycle if the predecessor left named, checkable questions, and cycle 13 left three. It also left one quantity unmeasured in the middle of its own central argument. Its structural claim is multiplicative — genetic testing is used in roughly half of IVF cycles, IVF is a few percent of births, so the product is about one percent of children — but the claim being forecast is about the TOP INCOME DECILE, and the product was taken using the POPULATION-AVERAGE IVF rate. If wealthy families use IVF at several times the population rate, the master’s own headline arithmetic understates the claim, possibly badly. That is the single largest correction available to this forecast and nobody has looked for it.
