• Also on Cambridge Core: "Comments on Co-deposition Electrolysis Results: A Response to Kowalski". How it bears: the Kowalski critique the arbiter carried as [memory, medium] exists as a published comment in EPJ AP 2008, with a published reply. Its argument was not read; the snippet suggests it concerns the interpretation of localized damage and etching. The arbiter's "Kowalski critique" can now be cited by title and journal.
