Well, given the “first time” and rodent research double whammies, I know better than to even bother even on a topic where I know enough to know I…or the authors…might be wrong.
That’s the thing to remember about “research” and publication, it’s not primarily intended as entertainment/edutainment (call it what you will) but an effort to “open the books” to peer review…where the peers are other scientists with knowledge, skill and expertise (a potential curse word these days…hope TMF’s nanny filter approves it) in the topic. So any gaffes are pointed out for either correction or research that can be ignored.
