Assess whether the use of handwritten TikZ code is a positive or negative sign

Determine whether the fact that zero lines of TikZ code were written by hand for the paper is a good or bad sign for the work.

Background

The paper’s acknowledgments explicitly identify a question concerning the authors’ use of TikZ code. The issue is not a mathematical problem about Tambara–Yamagami categories or finite semigroups, but it is an unresolved question explicitly marked as open by the authors and therefore satisfies the stated inclusion criterion.

References

It remains an open question for DT whether it's a good or bad sign that zero lines of TikZ code were written by hand for this paper.
