How did the "reviewers" not catch this? 🤔

Indeed, as the saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I wouldn't discount a certain level of bias but based on what you report it is just a correlation. It might also be that the outcomes also correlate with the overall quality of the submitted manuscripts which then in turn correlates with the prestige of the institutions and geographical locations.

Here's a short bio of the lead Au found on the inter web: "Visionary" CEO and Co-founder of Neo7Bioscience, "pioneering molecular breakthroughs" at the intersection of AI, HI (Human Intelligence), and bioscience. He has a PhD in Naturopathic Medicine & in Ethics and Theology. Just saying...

One of the biggest issues with meritocracy is that it fails to recognise that we massively underrate the role of chance in the outcomes of people's lives. This is even putting aside your birth circumstances, which are also chance.

Or actually, if one reads further down about the "provocative" markers, perhaps the "authors" were referring to IBD.

Perhaps you might be indirectly saying something similar but, honestly, I just think he was not brave enough.

Poisoning science since 2005... (op. cit. the infamous PLOS Medicine paper).

He's a "co-editor in chief" (whatever that means) of Oncotarget. 'Nuff said.

It does, doesn't it? Also, the main author of that paper did not perform so flawlessly in their forays into epidemiological research during the COVID era... & lots of damage was caused at the time, which persists to this day. Remember the "Great Barrington" declaration? @richardsever.bsky.social

Perhaps his sudden fall from grace will infuse the @royalsociety.org with a modicum of courage? But perhaps it wouldn't be exactly a display of "courage" at this point...

Published in "Oncotarget". Just sayin'...
