That is a very strange point! I am more than grateful for comments that
are NOT questions, pointing me to different work, previous work, other
approaches, failures.
What is the point of restricting one to questions? I mean, yes, one can
rephrase everything as a question:
"What is your work's relation to XXXX?"
but that's not the point.
Why only questions are considered good and comments/remarks not is
something that escapes my understanding - and experience - completely.
