Dear All,
this is out now (first link allowing to get a pdf but only for a day;
second link for those who have subscriptions - of course, send me an
email if you don't make it to get a reprint either way).

This paper is about questions such as: does "high density morphometrics"
really equate to accuracy? Does sliding make semilandmarks into
landmarks? Is geometric correspondence the same as biological
equivalence? Is there no problem with the 'within a configuration' tests
of modularity/integration?
I believe the simple answer to all these questions is: NO. However, the
article is neither against semilandmarks nor against testing for
modularity/integration. It's against unsupported misleading claims and
overstatement. Many methods can be useful (if important for the specific
study question) even with limitations, but the limitations should be
stated and not be overlooked.
I take the chance to thank again the editors, reviewers and all those
with whom I have discussed these issues over the years (regardless of
how much we agree or disagree).
I hope you're all well, despite the difficult times we're in.
All the best
Andrea
