The article ends with a warning that full reproducibility may be difficult due to IP issues.
Considering the academic (?) origin and allegedly shady history of the research this drawing of a commercial veil might encourage scepticism as to how revolutionary and successful it really is.
- femto113 4y agoDefinitely sets off my BS detector. They're under no obligation to publicize this so if they want it to be a secret they could keep it a secret. This means they do want publicity, probably so they can raise money. But there's an official way to protect your IP and get publicity: file a patent that details your process.
- tomxor 4y agoYeah, this sounds like they are using Nature as an advertising platform to hype up their work. I didn't realise it was possible to publish a paper with the premise that details required to reproduce it are omitted in some sort of weird guessing game... It makes sense that the allegations focus on analysing data manipulation. Maybe it's real, maybe it's fake, but the extreme scepticism seems deserved if they aren't going to be completely open and have a history of doing the same thing over and over.
