The evidence standard, stated once
The band: this section's second band asks only one question — whose name, tied to Walkerton by a verifiable record, carries beyond the town? — and it prints every answer at the exact strength of its tie: born here is not raised here; raised here is not seated here; a name on a building is not a resident. By that standard the town, two thousand people, produces a result out of all proportion to its size: a Nobel laureate born in it, and one of the most influential American historians of the twentieth century born in it and schooled in it — both verified below at first-hand institutional strength. Below them stand the town's superintendent-builder, a Hungarian-born clothing merchant a biographical volume honored, a police officer the town raised and another city buried, and an astronaut who stood here once. No "famous people from Walkerton" listicle claim is carried anywhere in this band; the class was checked and produced nothing the record would hold.
