All authors identify as disabled and use both identity-first and person-first languagein their writing. However, it is also important to note that we both prefer identity-first language forourselves. We believe that using identity-first language is important to bring visibility to thedisability as an identity, build community, and seek needed resources.

In this work,we use the phrase “statistical variability” to refer to variability as it is viewed by statisticians: anubiquitous phenomenon to be directly studied and modeled.Despite its importance, prior failures in engineering can be traced to the neglect of variability [4].In the 1950s, design of aircraft for “the average man” led to uncontrollable aircraft [5]. At theheight of this issue, as many as 17 pilots crashed in a single day [6].

It would miss many responses that should havebeen sorted into one of the groups, but leaving any space for ChatGPT to make its owninterpretation led to many incorrect classifications.
