•  P is ... considerably more difficult to assess.
 These measurements ... are considerably in error.
 This approach …
…is essentially correct/ computational/ the same/ goal-directed.
... proceeds through essentially three phases.
... remains essentially unchanged.
 F ... was essentially right in distinguishing P from Q.
 Discussions of Q ... turn out to be essentially about P.
 This technique ... can add greatly to the store of knowledge in this area.
 These models ... differ greatly in P.
 Contributions of F ... are greatly appreciated.
 This view ... markedly advances our understanding of P.
 P ... is significantly easier (greater) than Q/ significantly affects Q.
... is used solely to signal Q.
 This idea ... was vigorously debated/ defended/ denied by F.
... flourished vigorously for several years.
•  This scheme ... is broadly consistent with physiological evidence.
 P ... is a broadly influential/ highly sophisticated (controversial) approach
... is far less arbitrary (far more difficult to grasp) than Q.
... is a far subtler phenomenon.
... is far from being novel (a solution)/ extends far beyond our interests
... is not practicable so far.
 I ... fully agree with F/ am fully aware of the difficulties.
 P should be … fully understood (discussed)/ elucidated more fully.
 It seems ...h ighly probable/ desirable that P (because of Q).
 This technique ... is highly complex (controversial/ original).
... is highly developed in Europe.
 F made ... highly detailed observations of social encounters.
 This problem ... is still left largely unaddressed (unexplored)/ is largely a
question of P.
 This theory ... largely ignores ecological principles/ was greeted with a storm of
criticism.
 P ... strongly affects/ depends on/ influences Q/ indicates that Q/ varies.
... is strongly biased/ encouraged/ temperature dependent.
•  P ... is completely comprehensive/ typical/ irrelevant/ unacceptable.
