Sadly we are living in the very short window in which a decent resolution video of events is worth anything. Soon enough video synthesis will forever render that option useless. In the years to come people will forget that during this time

I just mentioned peer-review as an absurd example. I never equated it to science in general, and it amazes me that it comes across that way. I still stand by my saying that equating evidence to science is an abrupt leap.
