Abstract
This article is a response to Viviane Frings-Hessami’s ‘The flexibility of the records continuum model: a response to Michael Karabinos’ “in the shadow of the continuum”’ and continues the debate on my original paper. It is meant to further expand upon the shadows of the continuum, while also responding to Frings-Hessami with other records continuum model literature that refutes some of her critiques. By going through Frings-Hessami’s main arguments against my idea of shadows of the continuum, I point out the flaws in each, while also reiterating the original goal of the concept.
