Why do you think peer accountability will work? This is a genuine question of mine; please do not infer ulterior intention.

There's stuff you expect (or have read, heard, thought about, observed) science to be about, and there's stuff you don't expect science to be about. The stuff you don't expect scie…

I don't know, maybe a survey should be conducted across the scientific body, and some data should be collected.

I don't really know, honestly. When groups are arguing between opposing world views, all of which can appear equally likely depending on data selection, I find that absolutely frig…
