Landry,<br /><br />What you are suggesting is that an anonymous blogger from the Internet is more effective at retracting a paper published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal than established scientists who are writing blogs such as <i>Atieology</i> and <i>Pharyngula</i>.<br /><br />Perhaps the biggest concern here is the utterly ridiculous nature of the said paper, which can be detected by a lay person, but not by the Editor.sebhtmlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840557846651053123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216498241322993649.post-18952716504776454562010-08-14T23:09:21.268-04:002010-08-14T23:09:21.268-04:00BTW, the editor most likely did not retract the ar...BTW, the editor most likely did not retract the article because of the 1 August 2010 comment, but rather because on 10 August 2010, Bob O'Hara from <i><a href="http://scientopia.org/blogs/thisscientificlife/2010/08/10/the-virology-of-christ/" rel="nofollow">This Scientific Life</a></i> reported the story. This then got picked up at <i>Atieology</i> and <i>Pharyngula</i> in the following days.<br /><br />It was only when the thing went viral (no pun intended... well maybe a bit), and that the article became the most downloaded article from <i>Virology Journal</i>, then the editor retracted it.G.
