A new paper introduces the concept of "baseline capture," a phenomenon where an incumbent system's output becomes the de facto specification for evaluating new computational reformulations. This can hinder innovation by making it difficult to judge replacements independently of the original implementation. The paper uses several short cases, including audio frontends and signature validation, to illustrate this pathology and proposes "buying a verifier" by making demands explicit and independent of the incumbent system.
