<e_14159> But there's still a chance for him to correct it. I mean, it's not yet in the correct formal format either.
<e_14159> He also has one figure which simply says "Source: Nature", at least two figures which I'm pretty sure has been copied from somewhere and not cited, a table which is apparently a screenshot from a drawing program (it still has gridlines in the background; at least he removed those from the other figures), and has apparently corrected his double-citation of Adam (cited the ArXiv paper and the conference paper in two
<e_14159> different places) by removing one citation but not updating the reference, so it's now [?]
<e_14159> Six days remaining.
<e_14159> But I've already ranted too much :-)

<e_14159> I have to indulge in my orthography OCD in here :-)
<e_14159> (I know it's not orthography, but the alliteration was alluring)
<APlayer> "Legit", in that sense, is part of modern internet slang: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=legit
<APlayer> Possibly it is not all too appropriate for this channel, though
<e_14159> Oh, it probably is. I just have a pent-up desire for correcting people's wording which you got to suffer.
