That is my point though: the notion of one plant refuting another is absurd if they both still thrive. Likewise the underpinnings of how LLMs work does not refute the conceptual framework of universal grammar. Especially as refutation means to disprove (not improve, increment, evolve or augment). One more analogy: jiu jitsu does not refute aikido even if it is better in an MMA context. When reaching for refutation prefer synthesis.
