Verify Study 2 Logistic Regression
===================================
Parses Study 2 results and runs logistic regression predicting deception
from model + goal_type, reporting all coefficients with OR, 95% CI,
z-statistic, and p-value.
Specifically investigates whether the moral framing OR = p coincidence
is a genuine numerical coincidence or a data error.

print("""
1. The OR=0.639/p=0.639 match is a NUMERICAL COINCIDENCE, not a data error.
- OR = exp(β) and p = 2Φ(-|β/SE|) are mathematically independent.
- They only happen to round to the same 3-digit value.
2. 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.
