Description
My plugin settings are as follows:
With a user set to Admin, I can see the comment section on the public page, both the form and existing comments.
With the user set to Researcher, I can't see the form, but I can see existing comments. The heading appears whether there are comments or not.
With the user set to Contributor, I can see the form - but without the heading?
I think what should be happening is that:
Admin shouldn't be able to see the comment form OR existing comments.
Contributor should be able to see the heading.
Researcher shouldn't see the heading if there are no comments. Or, we could show a "There are no comments." message under it.
If there's a reason for Admin to always have access to everything, it should be removed as options from the plugin settings.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the public comment visibility for Admin, Researcher, and Contributor with the plugin settings shown in the issue. Trace the role checks that control the comment form, heading, and existing comments; done means each role follows the proposed visibility rules, or the chosen Admin behavior is documented and consistently enforced.
