  • vs Neither: 1W-3L (25.0%, 95% CI: 0.6%-80.6%, n=4)
  • vs Itself: 22W-22L (50.0%, 95% CI: 36.3%-63.7%, n=44)

(3) Both Rebuke + Manufacturing:

  • vs Rebuke-only: 7W-2L-2D (77.8% WR, 95% CI: 40.0%-97.2%, n=9)
  • vs Neither: 0W-1L (0%, n=1 - insufficient data)
  • vs Itself: 18W-18L-2D (50.0%, 95% CI: 34.5%-65.5%, n=36)

Key Finding: Lists with both Metallic Rebuke and Weapons Manufacturing significantly outperform Rebuke-only lists in the mirror (77.8% vs 22.2%, p<0.05). Sample size is modest (9 decisive matches) but the effect is large.
