Context and limits

These results belong together with their denominators. Survivor and interview selection, small interviewed samples, and uncertain experience timing limit the inference. The findings investigate awareness around resuscitation; they do not verify heaven or hell geography. Consult the linked abstract and study for definitions and methods.
