So why did Smith have such an outsized say in all this? Like, that isn't how the scientific process generally works. So they once... APS...

So they were... Maybe they also thought it was trouble they didn't need.

When you're working for a scientific journal, you're not doing it for the money, right? It's a lot of work. And the editors, was he paid? Was that his full-time job? It was not his full-time job, and I don't know whether he was paid. Right, right. Okay, so that just illustrates the point, is that people are doing this because that's actually what you do as a scientist.

There's not a lot of, you know, it's a prestigious position and you meet people. You have a certain say over the direction the field might go. And those are perks, but generally people do this like they do peer review because it's part of the tradition of scientific activity. Right. Right, right. That's right.

And so you can see why people might bail out if it was going to just be nothing but reputation catastrophe. Exactly, right. Because they'd be thinking, why the hell am I going to expose myself to this dismal risk when it's already hard and there's very little upside?

Despite this, despite the... Because of it.

Well, this is a good thing for people to know, too. You know, if you've watched my podcast, you know because I say this all the time that... mythologically speaking, that every treasure has a dragon, right? And that's a representation of the world, because the world is full of threat and opportunity.

And the co-association of the dragon and the treasure is a mythological trope indicating that there's opportunity where there's peril. But there's a corollary to that, which is a very interesting one, which is where there's peril, there's opportunity. And so you might think when
