Which claim, this one?

> Most autodiff packages (such as Pytorch) use something not much more advanced than this, although there are optimizations to speed it up (e.g. reverse mode diff).

We get it: you're a mechanic who thinks that makes you an automotive engineer.

i haven't a clue what that means but when julia's autodiff is the only one that is implemented using dual numbers i think the claim is pretty obviously false and seemingly everyone has an issue admitting that. without a doubt you'll just say something else sarcastic rather than admit it.
