Sometimes it is. It's not unusual that "not ready for prime time" conjectures get published. Whether they have any merit depends on whether there's further verification of their hypotheses. I don't consider that as "wrong", just that until there's more solid verification, it isn't all that interesting (even if they claim that it is).So academic research is akin to click-bait? Is that really what you want to say?And "publish or perish" was a thing long before "click-bait" was a thing.
Basically, I'm not saying anything different from this:
In that case, I don't consider the hypothesis as being actionable (for me, anyway, as I'm not offering research funding).The main recommendation is that they have an interesting hypothesis and someone should fund more research.
Back to the main question posed in this thread... the answer still appears to be: "no".
