- sampling makes impression comparable to single advertisement average person ⟨wholesale coffee trade⟩
it does not make any more impression on the average person than does an advertisement that appears only once, and is then abandoned
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.90 pass — The passage directly states that sampling 'does not make any more impression on the average person than does an advertisement that appears only once.' The claim accurately captures this statement, representing it as making a small impression on consumers. The quoted text fully supports the claim with only minor rewording in the subject-predicate-object formulation.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The viewpoint is incorrect. The passage attributes this claim to 'One indictment against sampling' and 'Wideawake merchants have learned' - these represent the perspective of packers/merchants in the coffee trade, not the author making a direct assertion. The viewpoint should reflect the source as the coffee packers/merchants who have learned this through experience, not attributed to 'author.' Additionally, the stance should be 'disputes' rather than 'asserts' since this is presented as a criticism (indictment) of sampling, representing opposition to the sampling method.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The quote provided is a verbatim assertion from the text explaining why sampling was abandoned: 'it does not make any more impression on the average person than does an advertisement that appears only once, and is then abandoned.' All elements of the claim are fully supported by the passage.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage qualifiers. The viewpoint correctly attributes the position to 'packers and merchants' (evidenced by 'One indictment against sampling' and 'Wideawake merchants have learned'). The stance 'disputes' is appropriate as the passage presents sampling negatively. Sentiment is correctly marked as 'negative.' Time qualifiers are correctly null as no specific temporal scope is given. Context 'wholesale coffee trade' is accurate. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Minor note: The viewpoint could be more precisely stated as 'packers' since the indictment is specifically attributed to thinking in the packer community, though the broader interpretation encompassing merchants' views also appears in the passage.
