Alright fine, then it’s a direct call out because the likelihood of a redditor being in the upper echelons of immunology and molecular biology like the authors, editors, and reviewers is slim. Unless they are amongst the prestige of researchers in this field, they have no right to be so arrogant and say “they got the wrong controls”.

Watch now, he’ll be a Nobel laureate or something

My comment was tongue in cheek about the all knowing redditors who critiquing published science. As if they were the equivalent of a journal reviewer/editor. Especially criticizing something like proper experimental controls, as if the reviewers didn’t notice - it’s arrogant/ignorant to the process

I hope you have the qualifications of the study authors to be posturing that they have inappropriately designed the experiment. Nothing better than armchair experts criticizing published scientific literature
