claim:accuracy-does-not-vary-linearly-with-latent-reflection-directions-instead-it-follows-a-more-non-linear-mapping-that-requires-deeper-theoretical-treatmentAccuracy does not vary linearly with latent reflection directions; instead it follows a more non-linear mapping that requires deeper theoretical treatment.
Theoretical limitation identified by the authors distinguishing reflection from stylistic tasks.
