| Aug 3, 2021 at 7:23 | comment | added | Mikhail Skopenkov | @Alex M. Surely, you are absolutely right: this question could only make sense with concrete cases. The link to the article WAS given in the question: users.mccme.ru/mskopenkov/other/lmp.html. Needless to say, would be grateful for pointing out any errors/imprecisions in this work. | |
| Aug 2, 2021 at 6:48 | comment | added | Alex M. | @MikhailSkopenkov: Without you showing us the article under discussion, it is impossible for us to give you any meaningful advice. This discussion is doomed to be too abstract and generic to be useful. | |

| Aug 2, 2021 at 5:35 | comment | added | Mikhail Skopenkov | Question was closed 'as offtopic'. However, there are plenty of similar questions on mathoverflow: e.g., mathoverflow.net/questions/82465/resubmitting-a-paper, mathoverflow.net/questions/146543/… etc. Can one researcher ask other ones for advice on mathoverflow or not? Can one reopen the question? | |
| Aug 2, 2021 at 4:56 | comment | added | Mikhail Skopenkov | @user2520938 It sounds a matter of fact: writing that 'something is written vaguely' requires at least one example of a mathematical error/imprecision. For instance, an inaccurate definition or undefined object, but not necessarily a mathematical mistake (as clearly indicated in the question). If a work is indeed very vague, then pointing out such imprecision would hardly take more than a minute. | |

| Aug 1, 2021 at 9:41 | comment | added | Roland Bacher | I think Question 1 is not very interesting and prompted down-votes. I like however question 2: A few answers can be helpful for example for writing better referee reports. | |

| Aug 1, 2021 at 9:07 | comment | added | user2520938 | Something can be written so vaguely that pointing out mistakes is not possible. | |
