Before I checked the article, I agreed, but this is a bit more about calling out institutions (science reporters) who really ought to be doing at least the least amount of legwork before publishing. Like, sample size 15. You can check that before you publish. You do have some responsibility to if you are a reporter, no? I dunno compare it with someone releasing "left-pad-2", with the code actually printing that you should really audit you deps. So yes, I agree, and might have hoped the plug was pulled a little faster, and the author really rides the newspapers into writing redactions, as it's really testing in prod. But like please, gatekeepers, publishers, trust the fad diet stuff a little less.
