Checked against the raw PDF text of arXiv 2502.09082v3 fetched for this audit. Method. Section 5.3: 60 test samples drawn at random, 7 LLMs, three annotators who each scored 20 samples on a 1-10 scale given the background and the original conversations (so each sample has one human score, no inter-annotator figure); Table 4 gives mean scores and win rates. A separate alignment study (Table 5, appendix C.4) reports the frequency with which LLM judges agree with the human judges on model-pair preferences, excluding near ties: GCA with GPT-4o 68.6%, with DeepSeek-V3 65.1%, with DeepSeek-R1 77.5%, BLEU 75.3%, ROUGE-L 72.0%. So an agreement measure exists, it is a pairwise-preference alignment rather than a correlation or kappa, and BLEU scored higher than the GPT-4o judge. Failure modes. The earlier negative 'no agreement statistic was seen' is wrong; the rating criterion is only 'scoring' of the simulation against the original conversation, not named as character fidelity or voice attribution, so the earlier narrowing of S52 still stands.
