8.7k hours in an entire year. So if you assume 8 hours sleeping, 8 hours working, and 8 hours of free-time per day, this means spending virtually every waking, non-working hour playing Battlezone 98 Redux for 3 years. Wow.

I’m 100% in agreement that there is a massive reproducibility crisis in science and that the publish-or-perish model is broken. But, for completeness, paper retractions can happen for many reasons, not all of them nefarious, though it could
