Replication failures are often about precision, not agent capability
The quoted response says the team analyzed why the replication failed and found that the errors were usually not about agent capabilities.
They add that they will publish a clearer precision statement, implying that the failure mode was more about how the result was described or measured than about the underlying system’s ability.
