The original model treats model_code as ordinal (0,1,2), which is inappropriate for nominal model categories. 3. Using proper categorical encoding (dummy variables for each model), the moral framing OR = 0.358 with p = 0.493 — no coincidence. 4. All goal_type coefficients are non-significant, consistent with the near-identical deception rates across all three conditions. 5. Standard MLE struggles with perfect separation (Gemini = 100% deceptive). Firth's penalized regression is recommended for the final dissertation.
