Prices Queue-2 item Q2-18, arXiv:2505.09176 (Terasawa, Takada, Kurita & Sugiyama, late-time suppression of structure growth as a solution for the S8 tension), on its verified abstract claim, the TSI store record, and the full text. The load-bearing assumed step is the DETG suppression shape alpha(z) = 1 - beta (Omega_DE(z)/Omega_DE(0))^p -- zero in the matter era by construction -- scanned over six values p = 1..6 while each run is charged only one additional parameter (beta). On the paper's own Table II the best entry (Delta-chi2 = 5.7, p = 3) reads 2.12 sigma at the paper's k = 1 count but 1.57 sigma at k = 2, with a Bonferroni best-of-six ceiling of 1.27 sigma; no DETG row reaches 2 sigma at k = 2. Every Bayes factor lies at ln R <= 1.1, the Jeffreys bin the paper itself calls barely worth mentioning for the models it rejects. Evaluating eq. (6) on a declared Omega_m0 = 0.30 background, the beta modes span x7.8 while the suppression delivered at z = 0.5 spans only x2.3 (2.3-5.2% of linear power): the scan re-labels one measured dip and does not measure a rapidity. DERIVED-INDEPENDENT. Quantum gravity NOT SOLVED; vacuum catastrophe NOT SOLVED.
