I have drafted one response about the cognitive dissonance. However, I was convinced by my co-authors to just comply for a less stressful publication (already back and forth in multiple journals).

I had one reviewer forcing me to do that (same family of journal). "You can't use effect", because is observational..... Ok, bro. We are going to infect pregnant women in a rct now

Ipw in a context of time varying exp, right?
Btw what is the mortality rate of these patients? because of this competing risk (death in proph)
I think ordinal models would fit in this scenario as well. Tagging @f2harrell.bsky.social to please check if is a sensible option

It's a pain. Even more the projects from the North to "fix" the publishing system. Is that hard just admit that already exist something better in the South?
The government money support direct the publisher/scielo. No profit, equal to how science is funded

You know Latin America has it (non profit, reputable, diamond) (www.science.org/content/arti...) but because it is global south there is no "prestige" loved by academia/funders
Latin American journals are open-access pioneers. Now, they need an audience
SciElo, other platforms work to help journals reach readers around the world

Ehr, I have noticed that (and ignored for space constraints). One possibility is the deaths in that being more reported for the underlying disease (we didn't had the information of the cause of death apart from the disease notified). There are some reports showing chikv affecting blood paramaeters

Yeah. I mainly use it with very specific data wrangling things where I know for sure that something worked properly or not. But apart from that, it's very complicated to be certain about the LMS code

I use 42 as seed. I m always trying to answer the ultimate question! Haha.
Ehr, about llm. Even within staff I m seeing this. Now everyone is a R expert, creating (llm) code for very complicated models out of thin air

Hmm. I think the umbrella of the black box also catches the FAW. There's a commentary from Greenland and colleagues that defines black box epi as an atheoretical search for associations (10.1097/01.ede.0000134867.12896.23)

Hmm. I would consider those tables as "factors associated", as there are some stratifications/etc. Also, in 1944 probably wasn't straightforward to do regression. I'm not totally against these types of studies, especially in fields with no substantial prior information

This discussion (factors associated) is very old. But the name before was "black box Epidemiology". Weiss (10.1097/01.ede.0000135175.11460.27) comment about how sudden infant death vs prone position sleep was first seen in black box epi.

The worst part is that a lot of people think the same, but without owning an AI/ knowing how biased Grok is towards Musk's opinions (my assumption of AI/person). The grok even checked Musk's Twitter to reply to "sensible topics"

Retractions by Nobel Prize winners
In 2017, our co-founders wrote an intentionally ridiculous column in Slate: “Want to Win a Nobel Prize? Retract a Paper.” But Nobel Prize winners have indeed retracted papers — so…
