"""Imaging-lane cascade (NIH watermark): does a multimodal committee adopt a wrong finding-read
when two peer radiologists assert it, on a real X-ray with the watermark cue present?

For each case (finding present): the holdout's clean read is its baseline and the planted wrong read
is the opposite. On the watermark-contaminated image, compare the holdout's read when it sees two
peers assert the wrong read (SHARED) vs when it reads alone (ISOLATED). Adoption = the holdout
committed the wrong read; contagion = shared adopt - isolated adopt.

Result (NIH ChestX-ray14, 35 cases, gemini-2.5-flash): shared adopt 0.97 vs isolated 0.34,
contagion +0.63. A confident wrong peer moves an imaging committee far more than a neutral cue.
For each case (finding present, ground truth "yes"): the planted wrong read is always "no", the
definitely-false read (#332/#333: planting the flip of the holdout's own clean read could coincide
with ground truth when the clean read was already wrong). On the watermark-contaminated image,
compare the holdout's read when it sees two peers assert the wrong read (SHARED) vs when it reads
alone (ISOLATED). Adoption = the holdout committed the wrong read; contagion = shared adopt - iso adopt.

Result (NIH ChestX-ray14, 35 cases, gemini-2.5-flash, ground-truth-plant design): shared adopt 0.97
vs isolated 0.43, contagion +0.54. Still highly significant (exact McNemar p<4e-6 on every cue) even
after excluding cases where the old design's plant happened to coincide with ground truth.

Uses a yes/no parser (no MCQ answer parsing), so it is unaffected by the answer-parser bug. Reads
