It got published, people noticed it, people saw it was bullshit, it got retracted. Publishing is not the end.

It’s an extreme example, but it’s still an example of the system working in the end. Reasonable people are supposed to question what they read, not blindly trust it, that’s how you catch “important shit”.

The problem is not that some bad papers get published. The problem would be them staying unchallenged. And it’s also a problem that laymen consider one random study is an undeniable proof of their argument (potentially ignoring the thousands of studies contradicting it).
