Each year sheet has a cell 'Age of father' and, on the next row, father's age across columns. Births were summed down each of those columns, excluding the Total row, then summed across the year sheets. A title that names both mother and father was not used as the axis. The preregistered thresholds were applied: an open bin counts only when its lower bound is 60 or 70. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/Assessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment Measured: null live births on the father-age axis at 70 (exact year or bin starting at 70) (n = 41). Interpretation: The tested clauses are the ones a birth register can measure: men have procreated at about sixty and at seventy. 'Sexually competent' and 'in most cases' are not read off birth counts, because a man can be fertile and not appear as a registered father. A bin that starts at 70 counts as fathers aged at least 70, which is the upper-age example in the claim, and is labelled as a bin rather than as exact age 70. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Claim test of aristotle-ha07-15: inconclusive, confidence 0.4 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso https://github.com/fractastical/delphisci/blob/bf2af6ee0a84e23ffa6414ad7a0a50a8c276506e/test-data/claim-tests/aristotle-biology/aristotle-ha07-15/result.json https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/admissibleDatasets A civil-registration table of live births by single year of father's age, or by bins whose lower bound is exactly 60 or exactly 70, for a defined population and set of years.

If one clause holds and the other is refuted, the verdict is mixed (confidence 0.60). If no father-age anchor is found, ages do not isolate 60 and 70, or the file is not a readable spreadsheet, the verdict is inconclusive with reason data-unavailable (confidence 0.40). https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasConfidence 0.4 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasEvidence https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasVerdict inconclusive https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hypothesis If men have fathered children at sixty and at seventy, the England and Wales live-birth registration table by single year of father's age records at least one birth at father's age 60 and at least one at father's age 70, or in a bin whose lower bound is that age. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/inferenceMethod Find the father-age anchor, sum births on that age axis, and apply the thresholds in pass_criterion and fail_criterion. Do not treat a mother-age margin as the father. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/passCriterion Pre-registered. Support requires a table anchored by a cell whose text matches father and age (and is the age axis, not only the mother's), with births summed across years and across mother's age. The age-60 clause holds if the exact age 60 sums to at least 1, or, when exact ages stop before 60, a bin whose lower bound is 60 sums to at least 1. The age-70 clause is the same at 70. Both clauses must hold. Confidence 0.70. This does not measure whether most men remain sexually competent. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/preregistered false https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/claim/aristotle-ha07-15 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasAssessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 http://purl.org/dc/terms/description registered live births by single year of parental age https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 http://purl.org/dc/terms/license Open Government Licence https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/EvidenceItem https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Dataset: Live births by age of mother and father, 2000 to 2016, England and Wales https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://www.ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/adhocs/008072livebirthsbyageofmotherandfather2000to2016englandandwales/livebirthsbyageofmotherandfather2000to2016.xls https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/adhocs/008072livebirthsbyageofmotherandfather2000to2016englandandwales https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ha07-15--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:ee73dafc93a31c20543e07bcd32c91b65dce850ea9b559edfa630ac9dd9892ef https://w3id.org/np/RAQQL5aXO-M49CEk0CUuVSpxjP2F6nWmZjiI9SEjFGBTE/provenance https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#SoftwareAgent https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label delphisci claim tester (grok-4.7;
