From: Ari Belenkiy <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2024 13:34:31 -0800 Paid reviewers, Thomas? Excellent idea. But who are the "reviewers who write no papers themselves"? Emeriti? Not sure one can be unbiased even if s/he sees the work that goes against their own former writings. In fact, your proposal reminds of the Paradox of the Barber "who shaves only those who don't shave themselves". Such a person does not exist after all.
