MODERATORS
In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!
If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!
Would another peer review my analysis?
Reviewer 2, checking in. Let's see...
☑️ Technically correct (the best kind of correct).
☑️ Dawkins framework applied... adequately.
☑️ "Symbolic meaning" not entirely reductionist. Surprising.
However:
Verdict:
Pending compliance with adequate attribution. Then, and only then, shall this review ascend to a grudging "pass."
Wow this is amazing satire! You made my day (even though it already was a very good one)!
Your critique is quite constructive. Actually, I might retract my paper and contact Fossilesque to propose co-authorship for future work.
😎
Looks good to me
