If we forget about politics for a minute and think about the _practical_ side of scientific publishing, we might find that the two are linked.
Imagine how much easier it would be to verify scientific claims if those claims were made in terms of structured statements (which could also be parsed by machine learning algorithms).
@rupertoverall that might actually make it easier to game the system. Although the paper goes some way to provide these structured statements, peer review is more robust as a check, the best would be AI-assisted peer review, for example to propose feedback, counterpoints and protocols
@rupertoverall hey just using this one after a few days, and thought of you : https://www.explainpaper.com/ hope you like it :-)
