Open is good right? In response to @KriegeskorteLab's open review of our work on neural similarity, I offer you "An open review of Niko Kriegeskorte", which is a less tedious read that touches on how difficult it is do something novel in this field.http://bradlove.org/blog/open-review …

the irony of this position is it sounds a lot like the one people use to argue against preprints and PPPR: "there is a system for peer review, and it works. people shouldn't be able to unilaterally circumvent that with open reviews."
-
I don't think the system works. I think it's biased.
-
In fact my opinion is that this blog post highlights exactly how all these systems don't work and that the only way to be constructive is to be actually open. Context is easily lost online (context collapse) and this was a good example to show that.
-
Certain media and timings promote more or less context information. A model like eLife's is pretty good. Ultimately, the point is that people will game the system no matter what, but a better system is possible, e.g., eLife.

It's ironic you think that I and
@ProfData who publish preprints are/can be against preprints because we pointed out how systems which contain them can be biased. Such criticism is exactly what is useful for progress. -
that was meant as a reductio ad absurdum. you *say* you want openness, but you're actually arguing for a (different kind of) gatekeeping model
-
open means you make things available, and people can comment on them and use them however they like. it doesn't mean "it's a preprint, but you still need to leave your comments on the same page as the original, and you can only post at certain times that are convenient for me"
-
I'm not arguing for something prescriptive like you claim. I'm giving my opinion on something that happened, proposing why it went the way it did.
