Yep...the point is still valid though. Technically, scientific publishing is easy to replace by a sound solution. Yet, politically, it's so hard. Think also to all the students that fully realize that before commiting seriously to academia. They either leave in disgust or start to play along. The death of A. Schwartz moved me a lot during my Phd. But my supervisor forbade me to publish in a public solution based on post review only saying that it would threaten our lab reputation. I am not sure I would have stayed in academia even if the system was less ugly (nb I was in cognitive psychology), but I am fully certain that I would have been much more happy there with a better system.
