E015 Transcript Reconciliation and Episode Boundary

The two preserved E015 transcript notes came from Dropbox files whose source filenames differ by the suffix (1). After frontmatter removal, line-ending normalization, and final-newline normalization, their transcript bodies are identical.

The descriptively named note is the canonical episode source because it preserves the episode slug. The shorter filename remains an immutable provenance variant. It is not a second episode or additional testimony.

Unlike E016 through E018, E015 has a full transcript body rather than a production outline. It can support a dated Episode Story about Dalton Anderson's reading, reactions, and personal examples.

External claims still need separate evidence. The transcript misstated the Super Bowl XLIX game state, Annie Duke's name and book title in places, and some poker history. Claims about psychology, probability, retirement, sports strategy, and historical examples cannot become verified case studies solely because they appear in the transcript or book.
