Also worth noting that what
@VPrasadMDMPH is objecting to is not scientific censorship by any account, because what was deleted here was the press release put out by the university newsletter...Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Academia has norms that are necessarily different than other human endeavors. Show your work. Dispute facts & interpretations. And errors are corrected with reasons, not thrown down a memory hole.

Academia has norms like any other field, and is prone to inertia. If something has dozens of obvious mathematical errors, it's very odd to call censorship when it's removed

well I just started to read the article, but it is bad. It shouldn't have been published in the first place. No clue why anyone wants to break a leg for it.

Seeing the sheer number of garbage papers with obvious flaws being paraded around is quite off putting. More so that people are calling retractions or rejections “censorship”.

My own field (Astro) isn’t immune to this, but it rarely involves actual lives at stake...

Her "analysis" is being trumpeted all over the internet and featured in an AIER news article. Prasad is playing his game over a *press release*

I'd think the best way to deal with a flawed paper is to keep it available with a big red RETRACTED header, and commentary marked throughout.

This is all
@VPrasadMDMPH was calling for. People who think disappearing publications down a memory hole is a good idea are a strange bunch. It arouses suspicions - for good reason. The way this was done has now Streisanded the publication. Success? - Show replies
