Given the fact (Mattias Desmet, Stuart Ritchie, et al) that around 85% of all scientific articles published contain some debilitating data which brings conclusions drawn into question, why do we even bother referencing them anymore? Institutional and regulatory capture is wildly out of control. Full stop. An overhaul is required otherwise there is no off ramp on the highway to totalitarianism. May the 5%-ers (the "I will never concede" crowd) live on!
