 **Correctness:** 
 Not very. They do really well in the intro and methodology, but shit hits the fan
-when it comes to the results.
+when it comes to the results. They don't explain things well, and also don't 
+really establish why their learned boundary between nominal and recovery
+controllers should be successful.
 
 **Contributions:** 
 The biggest contributions these guys make is demonstrating feasibility of their

-**What is the main thrust?**
+I read this a second time but I don't think it's worth it.

-**What are the key findings?**
+Their main contribution is trying to use RL to learn when to switch to a 
+recovery controller.
