That's a nice paper. I wish I had the time and energy this past year and a half to follow this work closer, but I didn't. I was reading through it now and had a comment that you might want to consider. Simply put, I think you are comparing two different quantities
when you compare the fractional linear polarization in the images to what is traditionally published in pulsar papers. In fact, I did not see the formulas you use to determine the average L/I in these two cases, but could they be the following?</div>

<ol>
<li>In imaging, L = sqrt( Sum(Q)^2 + Sum(U)^2 ), and I is just Sum(I), where the sums are over the entire integration time.<span></span></li><li>In time domain obs, L = Sum( sqrt(Q^2+U^2) ), and I is again Sum(I). Here the sums are across pulse phase. I think this is what is traditionally published in pulsar papers.</li></ol>
<div>I have ignored the L bias correction in both cases.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If so (as per the norm), then the imaging L/I is always going to be less than the timing L/I, depending in fact on the PA swing and the shape of the profile. I think this is clear in your figure 2, where in the timing data the pulsar is very highly polarized. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are currently writing up a MeerKAT paper where we are highlighting this distinction in definitions, and I have been thinking about the impact this could have in identifying pulsars in images. You may want to consider this here, and even perhaps write
a few sentences along the lines mentioned above. If somehow I have missed relevant discussion that exists in the manuscript already, please ignore the above.</div>
