Methodology

Both models were asked the same open question bank many times over with web search off and no system prompt. Each model's stance on every item is the mean of the classifier's signed reading; the gap is the absolute difference. "Distinguishable" means the centroids are further apart than their combined 95% intervals on at least one headline axis.
