The paper does not establish that the RLRF best-response map satisfies the continuity, convexity, or contraction conditions required for equilibrium and convergence.
Source quote, verbatim
This paper does not verify that the RLRF best-response map satisfies continuity, convexity or contraction, and does not restate those propositions, so nothing here establishes that the validation pool has an equilibrium.
