Description
**Bug Description**
I am writing a science-fiction novel in which two characters develop resistance to venom of snakes. I showed an article about that to Claude as scientific backing, and Fable 5.1 flagged it and changed my model to Opus 5.0. I was using this as background material to make scientifically valid rationale in my sci-fi writing only. I showed Claude a web capture of this article only: https://www.science.org/content/article/he-injected-himself-venom-decades-can-his-antibodies-help-snakebite-victims?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ScienceAdviser&utm_content=distillation&et_cid=6067930
