Healthy skepticism is a good idea
The silly notion that being published means it should be dismissed or that we should assume the opposite is true is not healthy though.
> The above view is independent of the current article. But it's embarrassing to see people praise the heck out of publications in 2026 in a vacuum. Reeks of young PhD student vibes.
I was responding to a comment above mine that said this journal was untrustworthy because of a single news bite they recalled.
I specifically said that not everything published in a journal is true!
Your condescending “young PhD student vibes” attempt at an insult is rich considering you didn’t even try to acknowledge what I actually said or the context in which I was delivering it.
Discussing anything science and research related on HN is such a slog because so many commenters are in such a rush to deliver some contrarian smug take that they’re not even reading what’s written.
