Tester ran 599 pre-2020 texts through Pangram, finding a zero false positive rate

Responding to claims that Pangram penalizes "African English," a tester spent $180 checking 599 pre-2020 texts — 285 from 14 African countries and pan-African literary sites — across blogs, recipes, sermons and textbooks. Not a single text scored above 0% AI; the only pre-2020 outputs flagged were archived GPT-2 generations. The poster argues attacks on Pangram are baseless.
