The situation here is different though.. If I'm making an existence claim by demonstrating a constructive argument and then being criticized for it, the most effective response to that critique would be a second, alternative construction, not attacking the critic's argument. After all, I'm the one claiming existence.. the burden of proof is on me, not my critics.
- skybrian 2y agoI don't know which argument is more constructive, though? Both teams reported what they did. They got different results. Figuring out why is the next step, and pointing out that they did different things seems useful. Though, the broader question is how useful the results of the original paper are to other people who might do the same thing.
