Comments: We found an error in our training pipeline that affected the GIN-Mean results on high-degree graphs and inflated the reported GIN-Sum vs. GIN-Mean gaps. After fixing the pipeline, the main correlation is no longer significant (Spearman \r{ho} ? 0.01). We are withdrawing the paper and will upload an updated version once the ongoing study is complete
