You (A Cat) Blinded Me With Science

 https://www.science.org/content/article/science-adviser-meet-larry-the-worlds-most-highly-cited-cat

For all y'all who worship at the alter of "peer reviewed journals" and the last word on all things scientific, this should make you rethink your commitment to the whole process.   The TLDR version is that some guy got his CAT cited multiple times in scientific journals and papers.   This isn't the first time, and the guy did it to highlight how screwed up the system is, but this blind faith in "Science" is simply another form of a religion.

Blaspheming against science? Isn't that the only unforgivable mark missing?

Yeah, it's the new unforgivable sin.
