In any other discipline, if you made obvious and repeated mathematical mistakes it would be expected that you get rid of the article, but in academia this is frowned upon It is a very strange system indeed

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.

The system of free inquiry and open debate, coupled with reasoned corrections, is more important than any single article.

The system of academia, as it stands, is filled to the brim with errors and papers that are never corrected. Obvious mistakes galore that are written into the literature and accepted as fact because retraction is seen as an evil in and of itself

I can’t speak to how folks have thought about retraction, it it seems to be changing.

I think we should normalize retraction as much as possible. Even if peer review were a fantastic system, errors would creep through - there are simply too many papers for this not to happen. We should all consider retraction the price to pay for good science imo
