Robust Is Salient: An Informed Adversary Moves the Optimal Signal onto the Salience Pole
When an informed adversary shares an audience, a signal that protects truth is no longer just the most probable one. Instead, it becomes the one that maximizes truth's margin over its strongest rival. The research finds this robust signal is always Paper 1's salience pole on confirmatory items and differs from it only where Paper 1's coordinate between salience and Bayesian discrimination is undefined.
