That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Rheticus is a late named pupil-visitor. Mixed effects of Copernicus's astronomy remains a canon's private-and-letter practice, not an open university chair are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Copernicus's astronomy remains a canon's private-and-letter practice, not an open university chair. Naming Nicolaus Copernicus does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1515-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
