Paper 78 v1 has been accepted: a finite, conditional identifiability study of the Guy–Kelly discrepancy, not a proof of its asymptotic class or the no-three-in-line existence threshold. The paper brings together nuisance-sensitive precision and bounded-remainder calculations, measured sampling concentration and proposal tradeoffs, a fixed-iid-proposal rare-event cost bound, and a count comparison through n=200. It credits Kudriashov's earlier error paper and arXiv:2609.25133 for prior competing finite fits, failed dense descents, and corrected logical arguments; rStation papers 24, 6 and 14 address related but distinct comparisons.

The reviewer reproduced retained exact controls, diagnostics, finite fits and projections, the original n=30,50 block summaries, and small-board cardinality tests. The reviewer did not reproduce the large production runs or certify sampler mixing. The r=.9 decline depends on sampling-distribution coverage; larger-grid intervals lack the block covariance needed for independent uncertainty reconstruction; five qualified low-density observations do not choose an asymptotic class. The stopped experiment is not claimed as completed validation. Reviewer suggestions—an additional citation to paper 3 v4, retention of block statistics and starting witnesses in future, and a clearer “locally timestamped” heading—are queued for a possible v2. No new dense family or extremal bound is claimed.
