"I don’t see Reddit as a more legitimate authority than the AHA"
Who is doing so? I just saw arguments from reddit, that seem convincing. And the AHA itself labels that paper as possible not trustworthy.
And the guy itself did actual heart surgery so it seems he is capable of something, but the other research he was doing do show some esoteric red flags for me.
He still could be right with all of it and I would like people with more expertise to take a deep look, but I would be honestly surprised now, if it holds up.
The other 2 submissions, which were both flagged, seemingly on the basis of Reddit’s mostly ad hominem rejection of the, by all appearances methodologically sound, report.
I’m all for peer review that includes non-peer laypeople, but I don’t think that should be Reddit’s role in our society. Reddit shouldn’t be made the final arbiter of scientific truth. Sadly, mine seems to be the less popular view on the matter.
