They fix the journal publication lag problem, but not the draft writing problem, unless there are people uploading preprints with the hypotheses to experiments they haven’t run yet, or with current things they’re thinking about. (I know there are experiment registration systems in a handful of medical fields in order to cut down on the file drawer effect, and those seem like an okay example of this sort of thing, but I’m not aware of those in fields like physics or CS or so on.)
Sounds like a den of priority disputes, political drama, and other malfeasance to me.
Sure. But I’d rather optimize for generating knowledge quickly than for generating status in an orderly way, because I think it’ll be positive on net.
Would you rather we went back to making musicians audition in front of their judges?
I think you’ll have to unpack this one for me, because I’m not sure what specifically you’re trying to imply and I don’t want to put words in your mouth.
