Item notes Scope basis: initiatory revelation and explicit secrecy threats (CLM-0191–0192). Mothers’ exclusive performance of some chants does not establish that those songs were confidential. The two Chapman publications share an investigator and overlapping testimony; the recording is not an independent covert record of a complete Hain.
