@LeafyEricScott maybe bring the idea that The World(tm) is divided into the one that do model based and design based approach! interpolating is totally fine in the first one but not in the second. They need to pick a lane (I also know that it is more complex ... )

@defuneste That is actually helpful, because they specifically want to do interpolation on a panel design and then use design-based estimation on the interpolated data. I think I need some kind of evidence that you can't do this though—either an analogy, a quick demo with simulated data, or a some kind of published paper with those things in it. I don't think they're going to just take my word for it if I say "No, you can't do that"
