I agree with the economic arguments for open access, but if you think normal people can read and understand technical medical literature, you are extremely mistaken. Have you read anything about people's comprehension levels? Most doctors can't read medical studies right.

And yet neither of you have even read the extensive research which Gavin has performed to make a strong case, and we have indicated multiple times, and instead used your personal views to support your arguments. Please end this thread until this changes, or remove me from it.
For instance, no evidence that open access helps patients in this document. It's all lefty rights talk. Show me some evidence that medical literature can be understood by patients, and that it helps them, and that this is improved by open access to any substantial degree.pic.twitter.com/KtPhE5RLyD

Some things are difficult to measure. I know I've used medical papers available on the internet many times. Has anyone polled me about this? No. A lack of evidence is not evidence against, either.
