Abstract
In this paper, we take a closer look at Czerwinski's " relative to a -complete oracle" [Cze23]. There are (uncountably) infinitely-many relativized worlds where and differ, and it is well-known that for any -complete problem , . The paper defines two sets and and builds the purported proof of their main theorem on the claim that an oracle Turing machine with as its oracle and that accepts must make queries to the oracle. We invalidate the latter by proving that there is an oracle Turing machine with as its oracle that accepts and yet only makes one query to the oracle. We thus conclude that Czerwinski's paper [Cze23] fails to establish that .
