• On Clemens's own reported results, the Mariel wage effect shrinks progressively as the race adjustment is loosened — roughly a third gone, then over half gone, then absent in the subsample where Miami's black share actually shifted

• Clemens's case for a race-interacted adjustment rests on a specific empirical claim: Miami's black wage-share composition (63%) differs sharply from Borjas's control cities (under 10%)

• David Roodman's independent review found no statistically distinguishable 1980 trend break in Miami's wage series and called the census-composition explanation plausible — but it predates Clemens's race-interaction model and doesn't adjudicate it

• Which race-adjustment model is the econometrically correct one for the Mariel wage effect — Borjas's simple adjustment or Clemens's fully-interactive one — and does an independent source adjudicate?

• Capture: Does the Clemens & Hunt argument that Borjas's Mariel effect is a 1980 survey-methodology artifact hold against Borjas's timing rebuttal?

• Borjas's timing rebuttal: the CPS Black-share jump was concentrated in one year (1979), while Miami's steepest low-skill wage drop came later (1981-1986), when the share was flat

• Whether the Mariel wage effect survives depends on which race-adjustment model is used: Borjas's simple adjustment barely moves his estimate, but a fully-interactive race model (which Borjas attributes to a Clemens blog reply) shrinks it toward zero in the March CPS

• In Direct Coupling Analysis, the strongest inferred couplings are only weakly influenced by phylogenetic bias — the confound concentrates in intermediate-strength couplings instead

• The DCA long-range epistasis gap and the IB compression-phase debate are both estimand-vs-estimator stories, but the gap lives in opposite places

• The PDZ/DCA long-range epistasis gap and the IB compression debate are both estimand-vs-estimator stories — but they resolve in opposite directions

• The Borjas Mariel wage effect may be an artifact of a 1980 survey-methodology change rather than immigration (Clemens & Hunt)
