Two recent commentaries published in this journal argued against the usefulness of memory-based dietary assessment methods (M-BMs). A pair of responding commentaries disputed those negative claims regarding M-BMs and defended the usefulness of M-BMs. This article is intended to clarify the claims made in the four commentaries cited previously, identify the manner in which those claims have been supported, and suggest possible ways forward. In service of the goals of this article, I have identified the main arguments found in each of the four commentaries cited previously. I then partitioned each argument into two principle components: data and claim. I then identified the type of data used to support each claim. Finally, I have identified some of the potential reasons for the disagreements between the two parties and have suggested potential opportunities for progress on the issues at the heart of the controversy.
最近在本期刊上发表的两篇评论文章对基于记忆的饮食评估方法（M-BMs）的有用性提出了质疑。一对回应的评论文章对这些关于 M-BMs 的负面说法提出了异议，并为 M-BMs 的有用性进行了辩护。本文旨在澄清之前引用的四篇评论文章中的说法，确定支持这些说法的方式，并提出可能的前进方向。为了实现本文的目标，我确定了之前引用的四篇评论文章中的主要论点。然后，我将每个论点分为两个主要组成部分：数据和主张。然后，我确定了每个主张所使用的数据类型。最后，我确定了双方之间存在分歧的一些潜在原因，并为争议核心问题的进展提出了一些潜在的机会。
