  1. Hi Fernanda, thanks for this.
    You mentioned the difference in “and agreed” and “agreed” in the original paper. How did you fix this in the replication study here? I am assuming “agreed” is the critical region for NMA. What’s the critical region for MA?

    It feels surprising to me that readers were not slowed down in first pass at both c and c+1 in NMA.
