Like I am not an advocate for "fast science" but I just dont understand why it is the prescription of so many metascience papers? "it really sucks being trapped in a small ball that a big machine is pushing really really fast. Makes us all motion sick. Therefore the ball should go slower." Like SURE but also maybe we can get out of the ball or do something about the machine

 @ab7cf35b I want science to be fast. Why wouldn't I want discoveries to be made faster? I just don't want it to be fast because it's half baked bullshit to boost metrics.

 @2b4a17d7 @ab7cf35b Naturally, to be slow does not mean to be good. But to be fast means, most probably, to be bad. No, I don't want science to be fast, I want science to be logical, structured,  novel, reprodicible, open, insightful, detailed, etc.
