That is a fantastic pedagogical method.

I'd like to see some sort of channel or forum dedicated to similar critiques.

Sadly, much of the academic publishing world seems to be geared around "scratch my back" and not disrupting funding agencies, publishers, and/or senior (academic) department officials.

There may be criticism, yes, but it seems far more defensive than objective --- protecting turf.

Defence against the Dark Arts^W^WCertified Crackpots does remain a concern, of course.
