It does not follow as a rule, since some SAE hypotheses were abstract and only the LLM method caught one easily measured difference. The argument depends on [[claim:846a4d41-3752-45ed-9210-b4177d75b5e9|the comparison finding]], which is supported, and on how far that finding generalizes. Generalization is the weaker point: only one SAE pipeline was tested, every abstraction score came from LLM raters, and other SAE text-analysis pipelines report semantic hypotheses.",
