  • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as the author's analysis, not a named source). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage makes a direct declarative statement. The sentiment is positive, matching the passage's framing of Taoism's contribution.
