I published a paper where six other papers referenced what I covered as literally impossible and it often made me quite angry that nobody was looking into this because of that incorrect statement 20 years ago. To this day I remember that papers are written by humans and are not infallible.
Same. The undergrad paper that led me to pursue a PhD was a response to a published paper that didn’t use a control group.
Don’t necessarily need to have a Ph.D. A professor of history once published a paper saying “No Irish Need Apply” signs were a myth. A 14 year old found counterexamples, and did a good enough job to get the takedown published.
It was mostly just so I could make people I don’t like call me Dr.
So you get spammed with emails asking for papers and presentations at conferences too?
