the journal editors themselves were human subjects. yeah — but you see, the wider point is that you didn't do this project in a way that really made your findings and your conclusions valid. you didn't, for example, try to fake some paper for an economicsjournal or for a chemistry or a science journal to see whether it wasn't so much that there was a problem here with the ideology of the humanities departments you were trying to expose, but maybe there was a different problem, that peer review as a system is collapsing in many universities and journals, that there aren't enough academics who want to seriously do peer review and that the standards are slipping across the board. you can't know whether that's the right conclusion because you didn't do a control. you know — again, to mention helen pluckrose, she has a great response to that. to say that your neighbour has a problem with cockroaches in their house does not demean the fact that you have rats in your house.
