## Editorial check

The generated answer is reproduced verbatim. Several case numbers in its opening icing/mixture citation list have probable-cause fields describing fuel-flow interruption or undetermined causes; that citation list should not be treated as a validated case-by-case classification. The blog comparison measures retrieval coverage, not answer quality.
