I always find this perspective so bizarre. How can someone's perspective be so devalued by the forum in which it appears? Some of the best statistical critique I've seen has come from twitter!https://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1330311819672608769 …

I don't know about you but I take seconds to minutes to formulate a tweet, and weeks to years to produce a journal paper, just because of how much extra work goes into it. It's quantifiably harder.

I often take hours to write my threads on studies, and hours researching them, so no I actually disagree wholeheartedly. I put the exact same effort as I do into letters to the editor, the only difference is that on Twitter people actually care

The status quo in academia is to do nothing about terrible research. Twitter upends that, which I think is a huge benefit

I disagree that the status quo is to do nothing. The public's ability to notice what is done isn't great though. So my preferred solution is for peer review to be strengthened, so that unsound studies don't get out in the first place.

The only system that currently exists to correct flawed research in academia often take months or years to proceed and almost never results in any change to flawed papers. Of the outright errors I've written to journals about, so far 2 have been corrected, most have not

I've written 3 errata. (The most serious error was a transcription error giving the wrong measurements for one star in a 50 star survey.) Those were accepted quite quickly.

I'm not saying they aren't accepted, although often they are not (depends on the journal), I'm saying the papers are almost never corrected and letters are read 1/100th as much
