Cannot begin to describe how short-sighted and frankly stupid a human being needs to be to join a pile-on for a timely & well-publicized retraction, regardless of how little they might think of the publication. Take 30 seconds to think through the implications, ffshttps://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1159614691385040896 …
Asking for what you claim to want is almost always pointless unless accompanied by some evidence that you actually want it. I'm not seeing it.

I am a huge fan of Sokal and scholarly rigour, and I genuinely believe that they would not have published that article if it didn't tell them what they wanted to hear. People should be a lot more skeptical of narratives when they align so closely with their ideological priors

Possibly true. The bottom line is that the peer review process is an immensely expensive undertaking reliant on a network of taxpayer-funded domain experts, which is why media *must* rely on a robust & iterative retraction mechanism.

I’m not sure this mind-reading is warranted, nor does Quillette require a defense on this point. In fact, I think the retraction is evidence of their integrity, and defense enough. But public circumspection is rarely seen in mainstream press and it’d fortify their reputation.

What I'm suggesting is precisely the opposite of anything that could be derived via mind-reading. Evidence. Behavior. I'm not sure where the disconnect is, here, but clearly it's substantial.
