I find that this is a great reaction to someone finding a bug in your paper. No trying to cover it up, but straight-up admitting a mistake. Also, the fact that he leaves the paper out because it does contain novel ideas that might be useful for further research is cool.
- baby 3y agoI had a similar thing happened to a paper of mine at the start of my career. Someone found an issue and published a paper to attack my paper. I felt like shit for a long time and thought about retracting. But then decided that my paper actually contained a lot of cool stuff, and so published an update with text highlighted in ted throughout the paper talking about the attack and about the sections that became obsolete. In retrospect I’m really happy I did the right thing. It can be nerve wracking to publish something that ends up being wrong, but being transparent and not taking things personally, and understanding that whatever happened is still providing value to a lot of people, is the right path.
