Verification
Fresh supplied-copy audit
The cited passage and its displayed/PDF locator were reread with surrounding text and page imagery. Glassware suitability is author guidance, not a controlled sensory comparison or universal hierarchy. Citation readiness is bounded to this passage. All 511 supplied screens were reviewed, but the copy stops at displayed page 229 of 320; full-book review is incomplete. Source, Excerpt, Claim and Literature Note relations are unchanged.
