A Reply to: Large Exomoons unlikely around Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b
Kipping and nine coauthors dispute reductions and inference in the Kepler1625/1708 exomoon controversy using shared archival products. They retain that both candidates may not be real and need further observations; noise, detrending, injection geometry, limb-darkening and conditional false-positive assumptions limit inference. No independent moon or UAP detection follows.
