I will.

Prof. Hübner has evaluated the article by Assistant Professor Dr. Martin Gansten as philologically clean and argumentatively plausible.

He found my original working hypothesis: ""There is not a single historical document from antiquity that provides historical evidence for the use of whole-sign houses, so it is reasonable to assume the non-existence of whole-sign houses in ancient astrological practice"" too apodictic.
He referred to Heph.1,1,3 and W. Hübner: Körper und Kosmos. Zur Ikonographie der zodiakalen Melothesie, Wiesbaden 2013 (Gratia. Tübinger Schriften zur Renaissanceforschung und Kulturwissenschaft. 49, ed. Joachim Knape, Reinhold F. Glei, Ulrich Pfisterer).

In view of his publications

Hübner, The Dodecatropos of Manilius (Manil. 2, 856 - 970) (Abhandlungen der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur: Geistes- und sozialwissenschaftliche Klasse)

Manilius, "Astronomica" Book V: Introduction, Text, Translation and Commentary (Sammlung wissenschaftlicher Commentare (SWC))

I assume that he would have used his Manilius works for argumentation if there had been evidence there for Manilius' use of Whole-Sign houses.

Following his criticism "too apodictic", I have since argued:

"There is not a single historical document from antiquity that provides historiographical evidence for the preferential and systematic use of whole-sign houses, or that would justify the assumption of a preferential use of a whole-sign house system in this regard in ancient astrological practice."
