What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites LFT as a baseline.

However, this assumption may not hold when the target is a geometrically distinct shape family that differs fundamentally from the training distribution, since the frozen layers may not have learned sufficiently general features for the new geometry.
