Liu Ting, another participant in this plan, points out that Yang's contributions are not great from a purely academic standpoint. "But by cooperating with him, I get greatly stimulated from the technical side of things, and in this way get great training in how to match theory with practice."
另一位參加這項計畫的劉霆也指出，楊泰和的東西對純學術的貢獻未必很大，「然而和他合作，我可以得到不少技術上的啟發，並可由此訓練學生理論和實務互相配合。」
