Reception and transmission
The response to an argument is part of its history. It also needs a different standard of evidence from the argument itself.
Separate what happened, why it might have happened, and what would test the exchange.
reception
EE has drawn views, downloads, and responses, but the author reports few sustained critiques of its central inference. The useful record is specific: what claim did a response address, what reason did it give, and did either side answer the strongest version?
Keep in view: The scale and cause of non-engagement need independent assessment; silence alone does not validate EE.

boundary
A reader may understand the words yet retain an assumption EE asks them to examine, such as an independently existing temporal container. The author has proposed cognitive resistance as one explanation of repeated failed exchanges. That remains a hypothesis to test against ordinary alternatives, including defects in the argument or its presentation.
Keep in view: No individual critic’s motives or psychology follow from this pattern.

method
Ask for the exact EE claim at issue, the reason it fails, and the source that states it. Then record whether the reply answers that reason. This makes both genuine defects and recurring misunderstandings easier to find.
Keep in view: A request for precision is a discussion method, not a presumption that EE is right.

Institutional record
The author has published accounts of divergent editorial responses. This page does not infer a journal’s motive from a rejection or a lack of detailed engagement. A useful assessment would compare the dated correspondence, submission scope, stated reasons, and the exact argument each response addressed.
