Right.

I haven't devoted much time to this because I don't think anybody who has ever interacted with us in person has ever thought this was likely, and I'm not sure if anyone even on the internet has ever made the accusation - though of course some have raised the vague possibility, as you have. In other words, I doubt this worry is anyone's true rejection, whereas I suspect the lack of peer-reviewed papers from SIAI is many people's true rejection.

Am I to take this as a general answer to the overall question of trustworthiness or is this intended just as an answer to the specific example?
