The dataviz equivalent of negative space
I love that the legend has a clear definition for what a "red arrow" captures but there are no actual red arrows in the figure that need to be defined.

This is a terrible policy!
Why did Demography did not obtain from the authors a replication package? Because the journal’s 2018 data and code availability policy did not permit their board to compel access to the original data after the three-year window.

The government's persecution of whistleblowers Richard Boyle and David McBride is unjust, and the public doesn't support it. It's time for much-needed reform.

I am unfamiliar with both the original paper and your comment, but if the code doesn't match the paper's description, I would think that obviously constitutes some level of research misconduct?
