I think you don't know what a email address is, and how they are used.
> (...) but putting a fake email address(...)
This nonsense of "fake email address" was only brought up as a baseless accusation. There is zero substance to it, and it's been used as a red herring in this discussion.
Focus on the problem: do you expect any and all email addresses you publish somewhere years ago to continue to work?

Which there can’t be, as we’re only listing a generic first.last@org addresses in the papers. I understood it this way: org is not handing out first.last@org to the employee, but using an email format in order to clarify that "first last" is working at org and collaborated on the paper not in private, but as an employee. He might have last.f@org gotten assigned as a valid email address from the org, but that one is not being used on the paper, while first.last@org is invalid. > I think you don't know what a email address is, and how they are used. You should know that this kind of comment should not be made on HN, see the guidelines [0] ("Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes."). > do you expect any and all email addresses you publish somewhere years ago to continue to work? No. But that is irrelevant to this conversation.
