摘要翻译：
这篇注释是对最近出现在ArXiv[1,2]上的关于经济复杂性的最优算法的辩论的一个贡献。[2]的作者最终同意ECI+算法[1]只是我们在2012年引入的适应度算法的一个重命名，正如我们在[3]中明确显示的那样。然而，他们忽略了任何关于这样一个事实的评论，即他们广泛的数值测试声称证明，如果他们将相同的算法命名为ECI+，它就能很好地工作，但如果它的名字是适应度，就不能。他们应该认识到，这消除了他们的数值方法的任何可信度，因此也消除了他们的新分析的可信度，在新分析中，他们考虑了许多算法[2]。由于他们自己承认最佳算法是适应度算法，他们的新主张变成了寻找最佳算法是毫无意义的，所有算法都是相似的。这与他们几天前声称的恰恰相反，不值得多加评论。在这些澄清之后，我们还提出了一个建设性的分析经济复杂性的现状，它的算法，它的成功和它的观点。对我们来说，讨论到此结束，我们不会回复进一步的评论。

英文摘要：
  This note is a contribution to the debate about the optimal algorithm for Economic Complexity that recently appeared on ArXiv [1, 2] . The authors of [2] eventually agree that the ECI+ algorithm [1] consists just in a renaming of the Fitness algorithm we introduced in 2012, as we explicitly showed in [3]. However, they omit any comment on the fact that their extensive numerical tests claimed to demonstrate that the same algorithm works well if they name it ECI+, but not if its name is Fitness. They should realize that this eliminates any credibility to their numerical methods and therefore also to their new analysis, in which they consider many algorithms [2]. Since by their own admission the best algorithm is the Fitness one, their new claim became that the search for the best algorithm is pointless and all algorithms are alike. This is exactly the opposite of what they claimed a few days ago and it does not deserve much comments. After these clarifications we also present a constructive analysis of the status of Economic Complexity, its algorithms, its successes and its perspectives. For us the discussion closes here, we will not reply to further comments.
