From my perspective, it’s very frustrating to hear that there (apparently) are valid counting arguments but also they aren’t the obvious well-known ones that everyone seems to talk about. (But also the real arguments aren’t linkable.)
Personally, I don’t think there are “solid” counting arguments, but I think you can think though a bunch more cases and feel like the underlying intuition is at least somewhat reasonable.
Overall, I’m a simple man, I still like Joe’s report : ). Fair enough if you don’t find the arguments in here convincing. I think Joe’s report is pretty close to the SOTA with open mindedness and a bit of reinvention work to fill in various gaps.
