In the conclusion of the article, you said: "While I concede that there are things the ISPD authors could have done better, their conclusion is still sound. The Nature authors do not address the fact that CMP and AutoDMP outperform CT with far less runtime and compute requirements."

One key argument in the rebuttal against the ISPD article is that the resources used in their comparison were significantly smaller. To me, this point alone seems sufficient to question the validity of the ISPD work's conclusions. What are your thoughts on this?

Additionally, I noticed that the neutral tone of this comment is quite a departure from the strongly critical tone of your article toward the AlphaChip work (words like "arrogance", "disdain", "hyperbole", "belittling", "hostile" for AlphaChip authors, as opposed to "excellent" for a Synopsys VP.) Could you share where this difference in tone originates?
