I was saying that the blog post is the best bug report I've ever seen. To extend the analogy: in my mind, the way you're treating it is like closing it as "INVALID" without any comment, which tends to annoy bug reporters :-) If your argument is #1 (that Aphyr tested the wrong thing), then a reasonable reply would be to provide the model you did intend. If you tested it as well, that would be great, but it is reasonable to require the "bug submitter" to retest. If your argument is #2 (that WAIT is just best-effort replication, and that it does not provide any guarantees) then that's fine, just say so clearly. But you should then stop disputing the model that Aphyr tested, because to do so implies the existence of a model which does provide guarantees.
