I don't care about the needs of Science the business.
Science the business should shut down, not of their own volition, but because the scientific community shifts away from for-profit publications and Science has the respectability of a tabloid.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoGreat, that's an honest response - an honest argument to be made. A dishonest response is saying they should publish things that makes no business sense for them to publish, and the logistics of which really makes no sense for their business model, with the seeming purpose of upbraiding them when they fail to do this thing they would never do.
- kerkeslager 7y agoYou're basically saying that Science (the business) should do whatever makes the most money, always, and anyone who criticizes them for doing that is "dishonest". Science (the business) is being dishonest by pretending to publish science (the method for obtaining facts). It's not okay just because it makes them money, and it's not dishonest to upbraid them for their harmful behavior.
