Just a fun rejoinder. One of the most important 'papers' [1] in the history of quantum mechanics was a short 'letter to the editor' by Bohr, in which he quickly plugged some numbers into a formula and compared with a recent experiment. Probably didn't take him more than a few hours to write it. That observation told us that we were on the right track of both predicting and explaining the spectra of atoms. Of course, this paper is likely nothing like Bohr's work. But sometimes very simple ideas have far reaching consequences. [1] https://zenodo.org/records/1429570 https://zenodo.org/records/1429570
