Inter-annotator agreement rates are compatible with an incentive account, but ambiguity, plural values, rater error, underspecified instructions, heterogeneity, and legitimate preference diversity can produce the same rates.

The Ouyang et al. (2022) and Bai et al. (2022) agreement rates are compatible with the absence of material consequence for annotators, but they do not identify it as the cause. Ambiguity, plural values, rater error, underspecified instructions, distributional heterogeneity, and legitimate preference diversity can produce the same rates.
