I think the author has been pretty forthright in seeking critiques from professional sleep researchers and neuroscientists.

I will post random theories about the nature of the universe and I'll tweet that I'm expecting critiques from physicists about my theory.

Damn, should look good on a resume.

Hilarious. Except for the fact that a bunch of neuroscientists actually read my draft and gave me comments a lot of which I incorporated in the essay, e.g. https://guzey.com/theses-on-sleep/#appendix-philipp-streiche...

People with domain specific knowledge do it just as often. It's a human condition.

Did we read different articles?
