Overdoped cuprates are not Fermi liquids

They are anisotropic marginal Fermi liquids.
A commenter on my recent AI blog post mentioned the following preprint, with a very different point of view.
B.J. Ramshaw, Steven A. Kivelson
The authors claim:
" a theoretical understanding of the "essential physics" is achievable in terms of a conventional Fermi-liquid treatment of the normal state...
...observed features of the overdoped materials that are inconsistent with this perspective can be attributed to the expected effects of the...
