Statement
The claim asserts that updating on the content of an utterance ("the speaker believes y") and on the fact of it give the same posterior exactly when the channel realizes the sincere reference. The declaration certifies the equality of posterior weights for every prior under that realization, as the instance of the transparent-channel theorem at the identity. The gap: the record carries the "if" direction as an identity under the hypothesis; the "only if" is the witness that a lying policy differs, a companion declaration; and the setting is the abstract channel, not a consultation row.
