External research review by u/mxriverlynn correctly noted that the paper's positioning of ADHD frames conflates three structurally distinct mechanisms:
-
Personas (A5: Examining and Addressing Barriers to Diversity in LLM-Generated Ideas) — simulated identities with user attributes ("you are John, 34, from Ohio"). A5 finds ordinary personas outperform curated expert personas. The mechanism is specificity in user-attributes.
-
Domain specialists (Han plugin's adversarial-security-analyst, devops-engineer, user-experience-designer, etc.) — role-grounded reviewers with domain-scoped briefs. They read the artifact under review.
-
ADHD frames (this project) — vantage operators that force structural re-framing of the problem itself ("you think in latency, memory layout, and physical constraints"). Off-domain by design. Not identities.
The paper currently allows readers (and reviewers) to map ADHD frames onto the persona literature, inviting the A5 contradiction as Han's review did.
Action:
- Add a subsection in §2 (Related Work) titled something like "Frames are not personas."
- Explicitly distinguish frames from personas and from domain specialists.
- Note that A5's "ordinary beats expert" finding is about specificity in user-attribute personas, which is orthogonal to vantage reframing.
- Cite Han's domain-specialist parallel review architecture as a related-but-distinct prior pattern.
Raised by u/mxriverlynn in adhd-application-to-han.md. The Han plugin already implements parallel fan-out with domain specialists, which is a legitimate prior pattern that the paper does not adequately differentiate from.
