The last thing we need is pundits and newspapers making wild and broken accusations and 'analysis' based on trying to find the linkbait side to every result.
To me, that doesn't sound like a problem with open access, it sounds like a problem with trusting untrustworthy sources. How many times do you see something you know about being reported on, and them getting it wrong? Why would anyone trust pundits and newspapers?
- SCdF 14y agoMy concern is not that I would (I am actually decent at reading abstracts and things like that, though I still wouldn't trust my opinion on a subject I'm not deeply versed in), it's that other people would. People are still not vaccinating their children because of one broken paper, it's madness. Now, whether or not that means you should have invisible hands curating content before it reaches the eyes of the public, I'm still not really sure where I stand.
