  • There was a specific number that was repeated across a lot of papers in my field, always citing the same source.

    That source did have the number, but it cited another paper for it, which itself cited yet an older paper. Im not sure where the citations went bad, but that last paper for not actually contain the value everyone waschain-attributing to it.

    The number was fortunately still correct though (and people would have noticed pretty quickly if it wasn’t).

    One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

    The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.
