Why no mirror

The paper contains no numbered theorem, lemma, corollary, or proposition asserting a computational result; it evaluates the tournament procedure through experiments. Since bit (a) fails, there is no anchored continuous question to grade, and the worker and answer structures proposed by the opponent would create a new computational problem.

fails bit a — no named computational result to mirror

What the mirror covers

The paper reports experimental outcomes for crowd responses and tournament selection, but has no named computational result for a continuous mirror to cover.

The case FOR (proponent)

This paper contains no numbered Theorem, Lemma, Corollary, or Proposition asserting a computational complexity result. Its results are empirical: the experiments report that tournament selection made one Chinese idiom’s correct translation reach about \(90\%\) after five rounds.

That observation is not an eligible anchor under the requested criteria. I therefore can’t give a continuous problem anchored in a named result, or classify its complexity, without inventing a result the paper does not claim.

The case AGAINST (opponent, writing after the proponent)

The proponent offers no anchor, so there is no named result to survive by silence. The paper reports experimental outcomes: in particular, one Chinese idiom’s correct translation reached about \(90\%\) after five rounds. It gives no theorem, complexity classification, or algorithmic guarantee for a formally specified computational problem. The procedure itself is an algorithm, but describing steps is not a result about its complexity.

The strongest possible mirror would model a distribution of workers and answers, with worker types specifying how they produce answers and judge pairs. One could then ask whether a correct answer gains mass through repeated tournament rounds, or how to allocate comparisons. That might be a worthwhile new model, but this paper does not supply its essential inputs: a finite answer space, a type distribution, or a formal rule connecting worker types to comparison outcomes. In the experiments, answers are open-ended strings, correctness is assessed manually, and the central claim about comparisons is empirical. Supplying those missing structures would create a new computational problem rather than mirror a result here.

There is a real limit to this negative case: the paper cannot rule out a useful continuous theory of crowd selection. But no such theory is established by its results, and calling a future model a mirror would stretch the term past its anchor. The defensible conclusion is narrower than “no worthwhile scenario exists”: this paper offers no computational result for ChoCo to continuize.

The adversarial triple: the proponent anchors on up to three named results; the opponent sees that case and must defeat every anchor; the judge decides which case convinced it. These are the pipeline’s own outputs, generated by tools/triple_run.py — no human edited them. The paper’s own text is not reproduced here beyond the quoted statement above.
