It was accurate at the time. It all fell apart when I tried to publish in evolutionary biology with my co-author. Evolutionary biologists do not understand the scientific method and have little interest in falsifying pet theories, so my success rate fell from about 50 percent to about 5 percent with some of the most insubstantial reviews I have ever seen.
