Yeah, it’s not an inherently bad thing.

A big part of the problem is that people run to journals without understanding their purpose; publication is just the first step in peer review.

And then when people do a ctrl+f to search for a “gotcha,” they also eliminate all of the nuance and caveats that really explain the potential finding.
