Thanks for the reply!
I appreciate the additional perspectives that you brought to the topic.
Thinking, Fast and Slow has been on my to-read list for a long time, but it hadn't occurred to me in relationship to these particular blog posts. One of these days I hope I'll make time for it. And now I guess I'll have to add, How we reason, too. I think both would be fascinating.
Also, I really hope you're right that blockchain will eventually move scientific publishing out from behind paywalls and into the open.
