Do a deep dive into (INSERT TOPIC X). Requirements: Use the steelman standard for every side: present the strongest, most charitable version of each argument. Prioritize primary sources and full-context originals (official documents, transcripts, court filings, datasets, direct statements, full videos, original posts, peer-reviewed papers, regulatory releases). When using secondary reporting, include it only to add context and clearly distinguish it from primary evidence. Do not quote selectively; whenever you cite a claim, link to the full source where it appears. If sources conflict, present the conflict and explain what would resolve it.
