It would be great if people provided comments on preprints, especially if we had a chance to digest and reply. Instead, the preprint system is being weaponised by @KriegeskorteLab as a way to post dismissive journal reviews that are really cheap self-aggrandizing blog posts.

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.
-
You put words in quotes as if I said them (I haven't), assume I've a prescriptive outlook (nope), but you don't understand my perspective (you said it yourself). TBH we can't disagree when you think I'm coming from an authoritative/normative perspective...

I know what many in the specific psychology/neuroscience community think about open science. And yes, we do disagree, esp on issues of power dynamics. I'm for open science, but I've expressed on Twitter very often disagreement with their specific ideology within open science.
