I've seen examples of first author gifting quite a few times. Obviously not going say examples as I'm not interested in shaming anybody.

You're right. I was thinking entirely about accusations that a student's work is actually the PI's. Your example's probably more common.

I'm confused what the diff between what we thought is? [sorry!]

Some discount a student's 1st authorship by saying their PI probably "did all the work" (especially with with a famous PI)

I was arguing that most PIs are too selfish to gift their own authorship. And incentives are not good.

I saw your argument that some student 1st authorship is seen as not deserved because it should actually belong to another student.

No. OK, I see your point. My point was NOTHING to do with deserving. I am just saying that some PIs genuinely help their students.

I don't mean this to devalue anybody! I'm saying that PIs exist who are nice & promote their students & gift 1st author to students.

I have seen students do very little work because they are still learning and still developing their skills and they get gifted 1st author.

This isn't a criticism of anybody, just a fact. PIs allow them to be first because why not?

If you have trouble understanding this, it might be because it's rare. But I've seen it first hand.

In all honesty, I generally approve of it when used wisely.
