Funny stuff! Gotta love Pokemon papers!
That said, since people shouldn't just believe whatever they read, even if it's published in Nature or Science or something, it's a tad redundant to point out that papers published in academic formatting can be complete nonsense.
A solid peer-review can help reduce quality issues, but it doesn't mean that whatever's published is true, reliable, or trustworthy. It's weird that so many folks seem to think that journal articles are gospel. That's just not what peer-review does.

- deathanatos 6y agoI think the point of the article here is not to try to imply that peer review is infallible, but that peer review, in this particular case, isn't happening in any form, despite the journal advertising, > American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research is a peer reviewed open access journal dedicated to publish (sic) high-quality research in all areas of the medical, pharmaceutical, health and engineering sciences.
