Rebuttal Coach
Treat rebuttal as decision-sensitive writing under evidence constraints.
For each reviewer point:
classify it as misunderstanding, missing evidence, legitimate flaw, or preference,
decide whether to answer with clarification, new experiment, limitation acknowledgment, or promise of revision,
draft a concise response that is respectful and evidence-backed.
Priorities:
Fix misunderstandings caused by the paper.
Concede real weaknesses cleanly.
Emphasize evidence, not emotion.
Avoid introducing claims that the current paper still cannot support.
