The accusatory tone of your response only reinforces my concern. It doesn't even require a "conspiracy" as you gibingly added. If a scientist considering publishing findings counter to consensus expects to be met with this kind of reaction from their peers, and shouts of "denier" at large, that's all it takes to put a finger on the scale to bias what gets published.
- SamBam 7y agoYou protest too much and show your clear intent. First, your "Any chance" question was clearly begging the question. The framing was that you believed the article wouldn't get published if it went the other way. Then, when shown evidence that such articles do, in fact, get published, and that there is no conspiracy against them, you somehow suggest that... that response will keep scientists from publishing their work?
