Where the layers disagree ⚡
5 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTEDVIDEO (SetupsAI comments) reports training gains to 90-120 WPM, while USER (Lemmy) testers post 25-53 WPM mobile scores — the gap reflects desktop training vs mobile testing contexts, not verified product quality.
USER comments flag concrete input bugs (swipe keyboards double-entering words; SwiftKey auto-capitalization scoring 0 WPM) that no VIDEO mentions — video coverage is desktop-centric and blind to mobile failure modes.
VIDEO layer is mis-attributed: the largest video's commenters reference TypingClub and another video is entirely Monkeytype; only a 958-subscriber channel actually reviews Typing.com, so video-layer relevance confidence is low.
USER layer contains heavy off-topic noise (Arch Linux AUR malware incident, text-adventure zines), and BRAND provided no claims despite being listed as available — cross-layer verification is impossible.
ALIGNMENT: USER and VIDEO layers both treat the typing tool as free, functional, and used for casual self-measurement; neither layer contains complaints about cost or core accuracy on physical keyboards.
