So, spend half an hour on it on the off chance it's not junk, in a field that is rife with politicised and inflammatory hot takes. That's a hard sell, frankly. I'll get back to you if I get the time.

I would not entirely dismiss as "appeal to authority" any filtering on such a field, that is so full of bad faith takes and misinformation. There's no shortage of that at all. And frankly, focusing on it as a pressing issue now, which it wasn't e.g. 10 years ago, is itself a culture-war distraction from more real things.

I feel fine ignoring Ms Hossenfelder's warmed-over second-hand bothsidesism. IDK why you are attached to it. But if you are, I fully expect you to also pore over what came out in it wake (I'm, replying now when it's in)
