Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. The user wants 180-260 words.
Conflict: I am strictly forbidden from inventing facts, but I am required to write 180-260 words.
Strategy: I must expand on the existing facts using neutral, encyclopedic language without adding new information. However, with only about 40 words of actual data, reaching 180 words without "inventing" or "guessing" is mathematically impossible if I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported".
Wait, let me re-read the prompt instructions: "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."
The Dilemma: The source is too small to meet the word count requirement without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Action: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts, repeating them in different encyclopedic ways if necessary, but I cannot reach 180 words without violating the core instruction of "never invent or guess".
Let's see if I can stretch the existing facts:
Tom Chaplin is an actor whose professional credits include 12 known works. He was born in Hastings, East Sussex, England, UK. His date of birth is recorded as March 8, 1979, making him 47 years old. He is also identified by the name Keane.
This is still only ~45 words.
