/**

* Experiment 46 — Does "Too Broad" Mean Too Many Questions, or Too Many Unrelated Questions?
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Controlled comparison: two fixtures with identical structural counts but
|
||||
* different semantic coherence. Tests whether active-unknown count can
|
||||
* distinguish coherent breadth from scattered breadth.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* No production code changes. No existing fixture modification.
