So... the back story here was that the article was done to highlight fake news or something. I forget which, but it wasn't... you know... somebody's lunch stuck on Webb's sensors. (That... that would be awkward...)

I love it when anyone in academia calls out the BS double standard peer review is. A favorite one being the horrible outbreak of a medical condition known as Cello Scrotum.

Peer review is miniboss. That paper wouldn't have survived final boss - as many replication studies as it takes to prove it false. Which is probably only few.
