How do you handle a cosmological result that depends on the assumed priors?

I keep running into papers where the headline constraint shifts noticeably when the priors change, but the abstract presents one number as if it were prior-independent.

I'm never sure how much of that to probe in review versus treat as a modelling choice.

How do you decide when a prior dependence is worth raising with the authors?
