Great explanation, thanks. I have some followups if you have the time!

a.) Why does this work as well as it does? Why does compression/fewer-parameters encourage better answers in this instance?

b.) Will it naturally transfer to other benchmarks that evaluate different domains? If so does that imply an approach similarly robust to pre-training that can be used for different domains/modalities?

c.) It works 20-30% of the time - do the researchers find any reason to believe that this could "scale" up in some fashion so that, say, a single larger network could handle any of the problems, rather than needing a new network for each problem? If so, would it improve accuracy as well as robustness?

Boo, go read the other comments that explain all of this instead of wasting people's time.

Emphasis mine. No one should feel obligated to answer my questions. I had hoped that was obvious.
