On: Reliable novelty: New should not trump true

That isn't what is going on. The stuff that gets published in the "tabloids" (Nature, Science, PNAS, etc) is sloppier.

I don't know your field, but that hasn't really been my experience at all. Just about as much sloppiness all the way across the board.

My only systematic complaint here is that short format means much of the substance has to go in an inconvenient supplement, but that's hardly unique to Nature and Science.

The supplements have vastly improved the situation. There is no denying that.
