Re: Feeling torn

There are many points about the paper, which are awkward.

1 - Unusual journal for radio astronomy, (significant issues with the authenticity of the journal and its referees)

2 - Use of units of signal strength from comms not radio astronomy

3 - No mention of location, background contamination data no supplied/measured

4 - Heavy use of person resume

5 - Minimal calibration data

6 - Insufficient data to reproduce the comet data

7 - et alia

One or two of these can be overlooked if the others are present, but not all of them. Go read the reddit post for a full description of the short comings of this paper.
