The comment in question said, "It's a multi-project
wafer not a multi-project
chip. They cut the wafer apart into individual chips. There is
one project on each chip. This has been going on since the 1970s. It is a very well-understood process." There is absolutely nothing uncivil about that comment, and it clarified that we were talking about slightly different things, thus leading to a resolution of the apparent disagreement and, I think, broader perspective for both of us.
The only even slightly uncivil thing about it would be the implication that I didn't know what MPW was, but in fact that was entirely plausible and would have been an important lacuna to correct were it true.
It was an exemplary comment, and the people who flagged it so that I could not reply were being a pain in the ass for no reason.
