Sorry, posted the wrong Reinhart paper, should be this one of course: https://www.nber.org/papers/w15815.pdf

I quickly read, digested, and mentally analyzed the 52 page whitepaper you posted, and am ready to resume the argument from the exact same point of view.

This paper was discredited. It could not be replicated using publicly available data and it was eventually found that there were large scale computational errors: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22223190
