1. They compare their solver with a 1e-4 error tolerance to Gurobi with 1e-6. This may seem like a detail, but in the context of how typical LPs are formulated, this is a big difference. They have to do things this way because their solver simply isn't able to reach better accuracy (meanwhile, you can ask Gurobi for 1e-9, and it will happily comply in most cases).
2. They disable presolve, which is 100% reasonable in a scientific paper (makes things more reproducible, gives a better idea of what the solver actually does). If you look at their results to evaluate which solver you should use, though, the results will be misleading, because presolve is a huge part of what makes SOTA solvers fast.
