John Adams

The prompt targets John Adams, so the graph keeps this mapping stable against close alternatives. S. president -> John Adams via a direct graph path. Source: Wikidata. As of: 2026-02-13.

Fun fact

one_hop_context checks the same role claim as role_holder_direct but requires explicit qualifier readback. John Adams stays anchored with additional dataset context. The graph therefore uses a direct graph path.
