@FediThing I think he means it. He certainly is doubling down on X https://x.com/JimDMiller/status/2055277720326529036

@tdietterich @arxiv So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical
Adriano@docpop @FediThing Well, his point is *slightly* more nuanced in that he's arguing "What if *I* checked the citations I added, but this other guy I co-author with did not on his part of the paper? Why am I responsible?"
To which I reply "sucks to be you, my guy."
@docpop @FediThing
To be clear, this is the same kind of argument as "What if I need to shout the N-word to save a baby from being crushed by a bus?", and the like.

Chaucerburnt@adriano @docpop @FediThing I think what some people miss, possibly intentionally, is that "responsible" doesn't mean "if your co-author fabricates stuff and lies to you, you will be drummed out of academia even if you had no way of knowing".
It just means that one will be expected to take reasonable steps to avoid such situations, and to remedy them when they emerge.
Jaicup@chaucerburnt @adriano @docpop @FediThing if you are publishing research isn't reading and understanding the state of the research step 1?
