Figure 26.3: The same ticket judged two ways, with the order reversed
Figure 26.3 The same ticket judged two ways, with the order reversed. In the top row
a snap verdict is named first, so any rationale that follows can only defend a
choice already made. In the bottom row (in accent) the model answers the rubric
questions first, the label follows the evidence, and the closing rationale cites
the answers it wrote—because in sequential generation, text written before the
label can inform it, and text written after can only excuse it.
