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 formula 'Knowest thou the meaning of the' — the exact shared substring, completed by a different object each time — recurs in both symbol-interpretation exchanges of the vision. 11:21: 'Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?' 13:21: 'Knowest thou the meaning of the book?' The quoted phrase is the exact shared substring preceding the differing object in each verse.
