A researcher was apparently stirred into action after recently being discussed by Leonid.
She responded to an early 2025 post by @elisabethbik.bsky.social stating there “was no duplication of images or part thereof.” Judge for yourself. 👇

More seriously, this seems to be a well-designed and well documented study. I am not a researcher, but fell down a MD Griffiths rabbit hole a few years ago.
