>A term like knowing is fine if it is used in the abstract and then redefined more precisely in the paper.
Sounds like a purely academic exercise.
Is there any genuine uncertainty about what the term "knowing" means in this context, in practice?
Can you name 2 distinct plausible definitions of "knowing", such that it would matter for the subject at hand which of those 2 definitions they're using?

Well, yes. It’s an academic research paper (I assume since it’s submitted to arXiv) and to be submitted to academic journals/conferences/etc., so it’s a fairly reasonable critique of the authors/the paper.
