@elduvelle @kofanchen @albertcardona I think the fundamental point here is that we have to get away from the idea that scientific papers are correct and that the job of publishing is to weed out incorrect ones. All papers are wrong. A large number are knowingly wrong. They're moves in a game, but it's a game whose structure does - amazingly - tend to lead to better ideas despite taking a lot of wrong turns and (in retrospect) wasting a lot of time. That convergence on better ideas happens quicker the more information we have and the more transparent the processes are.
