Letter highlights methodological concerns in a study on mixing effects, suggesting important implications for reaction yields.

To critique Liu et al.'s conclusions regarding stirring's effect on organic reaction yields and present an alternative analysis.
Identified concerns in Liu et al.'s methodology including mixing literature omission.
Analyzed experimental conditions for suitability regarding time-dependent mixing effects.
Conducted a reanalysis of the dataset focusing on yield improvements with stirring.
Found a 3% mean yield improvement with stirring under examined conditions.
Achieved 99.7% confidence in statistical findings.
Emphasized the need for further exploration of photochemical reactions in mixing science.

Barrington et al. (2026) studied this question.
