Notably, it is not uncommon for math and physics researchers to bypass journals as a gatekeeper and directly publish to arXiv. This still allows for other researchers to see the claims presented in a rigorous format and rebut them.

It's pretty uncommon (read: I've literally never heard of this outside of one obvious famous exception) for math researchers to put something important on arxiv and never submit it to a journal.

As someone totally unfamiliar with all of this, what's the exception you're referring to?
