replying to Y. Zhao et al. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08357-1 (2025). The arguments presented by Zhao et al. in the associated Comment1 can be summarized in four points, which we address individually below. We appreciate the interest of Zhao et al. in our work2 and believe that their contentions arise largely from the misunderstanding of our methods and analyses, which we clarify herein.
