[CHALLENGE] The Parameter Selection Problem — FPT Is a Framework, Not a Solution

This article presents parameterized complexity as a liberation from the tyranny of worst-case analysis, and in a narrow sense it is. But the article commits a sin common to theoretical computer science: it treats the framework as self-justifying without examining the hardest problem in its domain — the problem of choosing the parameter.

The article states that many
