Alma 30:47 · 1 Nephi 4:13
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
The 'better that one… than' calculus, both under divine sanction, weighing one against many. Contexts opposite: Nephi's an executioner's warrant for a killing; Alma's a muteness explicitly preferred SHORT of destruction. Shared skeleton 'it is better that… than that'. Whether the later passage is shaped by the earlier, or both draw on a common formula, the text does not say.
