When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were, and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus (1493 - 1541)

This week, Science published a stunningly irresponsible news story entitled "Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common" and claiming that upward of 30% of the scientific literature is fake.

https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-scientific-papers-are-alarmingly-common

Below, the first two paragraphs of the story.

Headline and intro notwithstanding, the story itself later notes that the detector doesn't actually work and flags nearly half of real papers as fake. Does the reporter just not understand that?

Weak sensitivity paired with no specificity equals meaningless results.

It begins: "President Biden is playing a dangerous game..."
But it's not Biden who's playing a dangerous game....

You must resist. If you pay that much, it just encourages them.

At my neighborhood shop, I always comment to the owner - “that’s a great record. No one should pay that much for it”. He chuckles knowingly and replies “but someone will.”

Last trip to the shop I had to decide between Don Cherry and Charles Tolliver. Both same price. Both great finds. Guy behind the counter - throw that one in and you’re at an even 100 - like the round number would improve my life more than groceries.

If I am spending $250 on records, I am walking out with a dozen records.

I return his gaze calmly gesturing to the $60 copy of Foreigner 4. “Oh really?”

I throw the CD of “Spirits” into the stack and say “I guess another 50 cents won’t matter.”

@drummmerandy @benthos @vinylrecords

So, 5times the discogs price? Odd.
You would probably have to pay me $250 to sit through a double Dead album and promise me that I would be listening with Steve Albini. But that’s just me.

@TheVinylApe @benthos @vinylrecords

I have no problem with a small business owner selling at the price the market sustains. But consumers set that price. Don’t pay $250 for any record and there won’t be any for sale at that price.
