Perhaps it's time to reimagine the scientific paper in a more terse format with more declarative statements and data rather than the mini-novel. That would make machine translation more tractable and may even lead to better tools to check assertions and search related work.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. tetris11's meaning is clear, and I was just making a whimsical observation, but I think it is possible (though clearly wrong in context) to parse:
> Nature is really good at giving you a spec with examples and guidelines you need to adhere to
as telling you something about the behavior of nature, analogous to "nature does nothing in vain" (Google's first auto-complete suggestion when I asked it for a sample sentence).
The italics matter. But neither case, the magazine or actual nature, should have the definite article.
Not sure why they are the gatekeepers of science. It seems like something out of the 1970s before the era of internet.
Its good to see that people are able to write a paper and just post it on a website.
We have way too many anti-intellectual voices already, and people will believe a flashy facebook page and memes more than a peer-reviewed article.
