Has it ever? I&amp;#x27;ve read a lot of &amp;quot;old&amp;quot; papers and idk if there&amp;#x27;s ever been a strong theoretical framework. I&amp;#x27;d say it is strongest today but not in main papers and those papers are getting rejected because of lack of experiments (wtf is going on with reviewing and why are our solutions &amp;quot;authors have to show reviewers used LLMs&amp;quot;[-1] not &amp;quot;reviewers have to provide meaningful review&amp;quot;?
