| Randomization restrictions | observed in the data (not documented by the source): no source documents rules; the experts sentence, its nationality word and the critics' response appear only with a reform (no-reform vignettes omit them, coded (not shown)); nationality appears only when experts lead the reform; the resources fragment is absent from every task-5 vignette |

Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.
