I was paraphrasing your argument. AFAICT, it remains faithful to what you are saying.

This is not true. If it were true that there was no doubt, the paper wouldn't have challenged it and claimed it false. If you assume your conclusion well obviously your conclusion follows trivially.

> And, yet again, the performance of the model is crap.

It isn't.

No, it remains faithful to your interpretation of what I said, which is designed to support your opinion rather than mine.

Also, basic manners: if you're not quoting, don't use quotes.

>> It isn't.

Is too!

We could do that all day. Or, we could look at the reported results which are, well, crap.
