The TOS cheese dispensers were obviously fake; you could see the actor putting the slice in the slot before taking it out, and sometimes the cheese wasn't even yellow.
Certainly, I don't disagree with that at all. And that's likely part of the reason so few people publish failures, because there's no "reward". All I was saying is there's still value there.
I wish more people would publish their failures. Definitive proof that a hypothesis is wrong is just as solid a result as definitive proof the hypothesis is right.
Ok but a soda or carbonated water that has lost most of its target fizzyness quotient (scientific term) is still regarded as being flat even if it has some carbonation left. If it were a sliding scale instead of "a" vs "b", then we could imagine a "locally flat" taste profile while admitting that the whole is not entirely flat. Which is a perfect description of Earth's geometry.
Being a lit review, it's not a referreed publication, so no one to call them out on their bullshit. Funny that the author didn't even bother reading their shit sandwich of a "review".
