- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — VIEWPOINT is incorrect: The passage does not attribute this statement to the 'author' but rather reports it as a practice 'In India' - this is a localized/cultural practice, not the author's own assertion. The viewpoint should reflect that this is a regional medical practice rather than authorial stance. Additionally, SENTIMENT may be questionable as 'positive' - the passage presents this neutrally as a reported use, not with positive connotation or endorsement.
