Drafting Paragraph 1:
David Young is a writer born on July 17, 1946, in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. According to The Movie Database, he is recognized for his work in writing. His professional profile includes eight known credits within the industry.
Drafting Paragraph 2:
(Wait, the sources are extremely sparse for David Young. I need to reach 180-260 words. However, the instructions say: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess.")
Problem: The provided sources for "David Young (Writing)" only contain: Name, profession (Writing), 8 credits, birth date, and birth place.
Constraint Conflict: I must write 180-260 words, but I can ONLY use the provided facts. If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 40 words.
Re-evaluating the sources:
Source [1] is about David Young.
Source [2] is about Lenny Von Dohlen.
Source [3] is about Laurence Fishburne.
Strict adherence to "Write ONLY verifiable facts": If I write 180 words using only those facts, I will be repeating myself or hallucinating. But the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
Let's look for any other "David Young" in the text:
Source [3] mentions "Dale Stevens (played by David Andrews)". No David Young.
Source [2] mentions "James Still". No David Young.
Conclusion on content: There is almost no information about David Young's career other than he is a writer with 8 credits.
Strategy: I will state the facts provided. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I have a conflict. Usually, in these prompts, the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule is the highest priority for an archivist. However, the word count is a specific instruction.
Wait, let me re-read Source [1] carefully:
"David Young — The Movie Database (TMDB)... Known For Writing... Known Credits 8... Birthday July 17, 1946... Place of Birth Oakville, Ontario, Canada."
Is there any other David Young? No.
How to expand without inventing? I cannot. If I expand, I am inventing. If I don't expand, I fail the word count.
Instructional Hierarchy: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported... You never invent... If a
