- What does #CrimSky think about this? A recent case comes to mind... 🤔
- I maintain that once somebody published a study, anybody can criticize it publicly, & there is no *obligation* to wait for the original authors' (OA) to reply. 1st, why would the OAs get to have the last word at every step? 2nd, waiting opens up a loophole for the OAs to derail the process.
- I agree completely but one should do so charitably and in good faith. I think we're too reluctant to critique work publicly (myself included!), but the infrequent critiques that are made publicly are also too often unfair and motivated by ideology either directly or indirectly to receive praise.
