Yeah, I call BS

no no this one is different
My pet peeve at the “Towards a …” papers. Why don’t you figure it out first, before trying to publish your half baked mess?
This is domain-specific, but what annoys me the most about Paleoanthropology articles is that whenever somebody digs up another 4 myo shard of thigh bone, the article is guaranteed to contain the phrase "will force Anthropologists to rethink their assumptions". This all goes back to the "Lucy" find which was fully bipedal but still had the small brain of a chimpanzee, which did actually force Anthropologists to abandon the prior assumption that upright walking and large brains had evolved together. No find since then has had anywhere near that significance.
Capitalism's influence on science, they need to get funding or find other work.
Every domain has something similar. I’m a physicist and everything is “EINSTEIN PROVEN WRONG” or “EINSTEIN WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL”.
Don’t get me wrong, he was a pretty good physicist, but lots of things have happend in the last 100 years.
My new book The First Thing, the Second Thing, and the Third Thing: a Cutesie Subtitle Following the Colon is dropping tomorrow.
I want to read more papers titled "8 ways not to [thing]"
