Unfortunately, that's been true for 90% plus of all the science to date on this pandemic :(
Reading some of these papers and thinking of how merciless I'd be if I were their peer reviewers... then seeing people treat them as absolute truth... it's depressing as hell.
- thu2111 6y agoThe scary thing about the comments on that review are the ones from people who are clearly academic scientists, claiming bugs don't matter because you can just average them out in the wash and professional developers aren't qualified to judge their code. This confusion between intentional pseudo-randomness and bugs seems to be widespread.
- exmadscientist 6y agoAlmost all scientists don't understand how to code. Just, full stop, don't get it. (I was one of the exceptions, and man, was that ever frustrating.)
