Abstract
We evaluated whether knowledge of zoonotic diseases is related to beliefs about the threat of those diseases in wood bison. An online questionnaire of Alberta hunters (n = 239) was primarily conducted through the provincial government’s hunter licensing system. Respondent knowledge of bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis in Canada was limited and non-linearly related to threat beliefs. Higher knowledge was associated with believing the diseases are or are not a threat to human health rather than being unsure. Respondents were clustered based on their agreement that the diseases are threats to personal health. The Strongly Disagree cluster had significantly higher knowledge than the Neutral cluster. The Higher Agreement cluster had higher knowledge than the Neutral and lower knowledge than the Strongly Disagree clusters, but these differences were not significant. Results highlight how conflict could arise if increasing disease knowledge is assumed to lead to specific changes in disease threat-related beliefs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
