  "summary":"Two peer-reviewed Scientific Reports studies sharpen SPIRAL. Hirst et al. show that value-congruent LLM framing can shift human idea endorsement and willingness to pay through perceived compellingness and feeling understood. Rodriguez et al. show that sustained misinformation pressure exposes distinct fallibility, persuadability and correctability, including conversational reverberation. Together they move SPIRAL from model-output agreement alone toward measurable human downstream effects and long-horizon interaction dynamics.",
