Re: New JAES paper on tracing distortions

I think the relevant points about common English language term usage have been made, and graciously received by the author. Can this thread be redirected, going forward, to the actual intended content of the paper?

Thank you! And congrats, vladan3101!

Did anyone get scammed on this?

Any time something scammy like this gets posted, please send me an email or private message. I should have blocked this user years ago. I missed this, sorry.
