      I'd be inclined to wait for peer reviewed publications on a matter so subject to ideological controversy. (I can't judge the merits.)

      Since the reproducibility crisis, peer review is no longer the arbiter of scientific "truth". Among other measures, early on debate of preprints among knowledgeable readers has become more important, which I invite.

          The reproducibility crisis may suggest that peer review is not serving its intended purpose, but the only conclusion is that there is no reliable "scientific truth". The only solution is more extensively reviewed meta-analyses; otherwise we are just grasping in the dark.

          The solution to the replicability crisis is replication.

          I really love what you do here! I hope you don't mind my sometimes pedantic responses.

          You tweet (and I support you via PayPal) on a wide range of topics. Your readers are not, therefore, the specialists for whom pre-publication papers are a useful form of exchange. The problems of peer review are not solved by wide circulation of NON-reviewed papers.

          Then, by all means, tweet away. We all know the truth anyway. This is just simping.

          I don't know the truth. If you do, fill me in.
