It shows only a little about parity with LoRA, because the two numbers were measured on different concepts, layers and strength-selection procedures, and nothing in the premises says LoRA would score the same on the easier forum-tag concepts. The step from \"near a quoted figure\" to \"approaches LoRA performance\" is where it is weak.",

It does not show the opposite of the claim, since no matched LoRA run exists either way; it shows that the evidence offered cannot carry the comparison. Its strongest premise is the rise in prompting scores on the same labels, which indicates easier concepts.",
