>your true values
Which are what exactly? What are my true values that I revealed?

>It’s not equal opportunity employment.
No, it's not. But if that's the incentive that's needed to poach the guy you want, what are you gonna do? Not hire the guy?

>citations =/= quality
Then how do you measure quality in a somewhat impartial way?

>The most cited paper in HEP theory is a niche result called AdS/CFT.
>It’s only practical applications are for extremely specific 2D systems in solid state.
I wonder why practical applications might be of interest for some people.

>Wigner’s paper on Poincare group representations literally created a new technique in math that has been applied to the entire field of group theory since.
Well, a lot of people will be citing that then, if it has so many APPLICATIONS. If it is so useful for people. They'll use it and cite it and they'll get reviewers telling them to cite it if they use it and they don't.

>A good paper will be in a garbage journal?
A paper that is small in scope and fails to discuss the relevant literature? I think you won't publish this in a good journal.

>the argument is literally “5 sigma is the standard in the field and your premature bullshit is the reason why laymen think we’re crackpots”.
This is a bad argument, because why do you care what laymen think? They don't even know what a sigma is. Who gives a shit? If you're fast and it is something as good as it could potentially be, you have a smashing success of a paper. The incetive to wait would be something along the lines of "we need to do some more work and then we can get a better paper". You are not thinking like someone who ever understood what the work you are doing is.

>Massive cope.
You don't think so?
During those times there were a lot of open questions with lots of avenues towards solutions. Just shake the tree and pick up some fruit.

>Have fun being a mindless busy bee.
I hope you are very successful in your bricklaying as well.
