Unfortunately, some very important papers wouldn't make it past this test... The startup I'm working with has developed a unique, revolutionary product. (Unusually, this is a true statement - not marketing.) There are a number of published papers, and 8 year follow-ups. But journals won't even publish the 5 year follow-ups! Why? Because it is a genuine paradigm-changer. We can't get independent confirmation, because no one wants to touch it. It threatens a global multi-billion dollar industry. There's a 'mafia' in almost every profitable industry. Until I joined this startup, I had no notion that this niche was so full of medical practitioners readily sidestepping the Hippocratic Oath for the goal of profit.
