My comment about the @Quillette incident:
We can all be fooled, especially when we hear what we want. I have been. You have been. Everyone has been. This is a matter of some importance, but how one handles it after the fact is a matter of greater importance. Learn from it.

It is a little amazing to see just how much negative attention Quillette's started getting. So many outlets/Borg are spreading the story that it was trending this morning. You'd think it was the WSJ or something, not a blog frequented mostly by weirdo intellectuals.

It's what tends to happen when you defy the cultural orthodoxy of the day, which is just hanging around until another cultural orthodoxy replaces it. Every cultural orthodoxy is adamant it will rule supreme forever; they never do. Quillette is one of the few credible...

Holding them only to basic standards of journalism, which includes standard fact-checking and vetting of sources. Like Lindsey says, anyone can get fooled. But it's A LOT easier to be fooled when you don't try not to be.

Those evergreen college students calling anyone to the right of them a fascist racist really do know what they're talking about

So what you're saying is that it is not a peer-reviewed journal and we should not listen to anything it has to say cause it is a shit rag.

I don’t think the poetry therapy journal actively embellished the hoax paper they received. The standards between an outlet and a journal isn’t a simple higher or lower. They are different. DSA membership is a key component to the story and there’s no research equivalent.

Peer reviewed journals are not designed to detect fraud. That's not what peer review and academic editors do, it's an honor system, honesty is the baseline. News editors do not function on presumption of honesty - that would be insane, so they employ fact checkers.

One of the things that Quillette has, falsely, asserted is that instances such as the Sokal or Boghassian hoax suggest is the peer review failed. But that's because they don't understand peer review. That's like expecting a horse to prevent vandalism. It doesn't do that.
