Posts Accuse XM Paper of Copying Prior IMLE Work

Susan Zhang posted excerpts comparing sections on mode forcing across papers and noted that the XM paper cited a lengthy preprint instead of the 2023 work that introduced the term. You Jiacheng replied that the XM paper's discussion of IMLE as a special case appears incorrect. Pasquale Minervini retweeted criticism that authors rebranded IMLE under a new name rather than crediting the original. Yilun Du replied that the draft refers to a different concept than the earlier mode forcing paper and that the team learned of IMLE late in the project. The posts treat the visible overlaps as the basis for the claims.
