I very much agree, the answer is to cite sources.

fine and not too hard.
The best way to deal with incommensurability in a neutral way, in my mind,
is to 1. state each side in their own terms, 2. state how they characterize
each other.
In reality, though, a lot of things which are labeled as incommensurable end
up not being so, in the end. There is a large literature on
incommensurability (following Thomas Kuhn) in the philosophy and history of
science; I think we have a small article on it.
