I admit I don’t know the whole story. I don’t know what evidence was produced to support the LLM claim and what efforts were made.

The few comments I read here seemed like some attempt to reconcile were made but fell apart. I can’t and don’t want to point fingers one way or the other, personal bias notwithstanding.

I just wanted to point out “he said something even though we said it’s wrong” isn’t a particularly strong argument. That’s just one party’s word against the other’s.
