In this [highly active question about how to respond to misrepresentation of one's research](https://academia.stackexchange.com/q/170077/22733), one of the answers [dwells on the scientific substance of the matter rather than on the question of how to respond](https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/170100/22733).

While "frame challenges" to a question are often appropriate, in this case there is (deliberately) not enough information to know what scientific content is actually involved, other than the broad area. Because passions are high around this subject area and due to the specific position taken by the answer author, it is unsurprising that this answer has become highly controversial.

I believe that @cag51 made a reasonable proposal for improving the answer by focusing it on the response to the OP's question, rather than the argument about research content. The author of the answer has clearly rejected that proposal by reverting the edit, however.

The leaves a question of what to do about the controversial answer, and per @cag51's comment, I think it will be useful to bring this to meta for discussion. I see three general paths:

1. Edit against the answer authors' wishes
2. Delete as being unsalvageable
3. Leave it alone

Personally, I think there is valuable content in the answer where it addresses the actual question of the OP, and that the discussion of the scientific specifics is what detracts from the value. This is not the venue for resolving a question about EUA processes: that would be better taken to [Medical Sciences](https://medicalsciences.stackexchange.com/), per the standard policy of this site to avoid discussion of the [content of research](https://academia.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic).

I'd like to see it salvaged, and there is [recent community precedent for such an invasive edit](https://academia.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4851/22733). In that case, however, the answer writer did effectively assent to the edit.

I would thus propose that the path to take is to ask the answer writer to respond here and that the direction either be:

* Edit to remove research content discussion, by the answer writer or with their consent, or
* If the answer writer does not consent to editing, delete as violating the site's policy on discussion of research content.
