Checked at 1:1 at (300,300), (1664,640) and (3100,1100) - the same everywhere. This is the failure mode EVAL_RESULT.md (j) recorded for the normal candidates at ranks 3-5 ('scattered cells with bright red-orange globules in a loose vacuolated matrix, not oxyntic mucosa'). Tissue that does not cohere is a broken field, so it is replaced.",
