Sounds more like they're throwing the one senior prof under the bus to protect their own faces; saying 'I didn't agree to preprint submission' would be the first excuse I'd come up with.
At that point, they had been majorly involved in the research, if they were not involved in the preprinting they must have seen several drafts at least, at which point they could've asked to get taken out. But they didn't do that, and that's telling.

- rsfern 3y agoI tend to agree, but it’s hard to know exactly how it went down from our outsiders perspective. They’re implying that they asked for changes before submission, and that they weren’t given a final call to ask for their names to be removed if it came to that. Personally I would be less skeptical about this version of events with more transparency about whatever technical issues they had with the manuscript
