informative to talk about significant algorithmic progress "by the computational complexity theory community." It is a remarkable fact of the development of the sciences how one area impacts another, and this example deserves highlighting. Prior to this invasion of coding theory by the computational complexity theory community, the central paradigms of complexity theory (asymptotic thinking, rates of growth, "polynomial time," etc.) received very little attention in the "coding theory community." --

This article begins with representing coding theory as part of computer science ("In computer science, particularly in coding theory..."). I think this is somewhat misleading; coding theory is at the intersection of several major disciplines. Mathematics and electrical engineering have at least

The article mentions several times the significant algorithmic progress "by the coding theory community." This designation of the community responsible for the recent progress on list decoding is in a way a tautology (whoever makes significant progress on coding theory is a member of the coding
