and i just come back to this thing, again...

if i can write 1 paper in a year

and you can write 1 paper in a year

then i can give you my paper and you can help me edit it / point out some obvious criticism if there is one. no kudos or special credit for pointing out obscure things that don't matter. ideally you have nothing to say. ideally there are no typos or whatever. ideally it doesn't need changing.

then i can do the same for your paper.

then we can both boost our productivity by co-authoring 2 papers. and the paper would be better for editorial comments. for sure. but that doesn't take as much time as writing the f*ck*ng paper.

then (since we were fairly independent) it might be that a futher paper can be developed as differences of opinion or perspective arise. as there is a disagreemnet between the authors.

yay. a bonus paper number 3.

but this doesn't happen. because instead of getting 3 papers in a timely fashion we end up with 1 paper that was edited into a different paper and where the editorial comments / process took as long (or maybe even longer) than it took to write the f*ck*ng paper in the first place.

in fact...

the 1 paper that could have been written (and processed without hinderance) doesn't even come into fruition, at all.

becuase people decided to oppose it. if they couldn't force it to be paper number 3. right from the starting gate.

good job, people! working together :)
