How this was checked
Every row in this ledger stores an evidence URL — a public page that states Bitcoin acceptance. A scheduled job re-fetches it once a day and classifies only the text it just retrieved, never prior knowledge. That is the whole basis for the answer above; there is no other source behind it.
