A bot crawled thousands of studies looking for simple math errors
Remember when writers could do spell-checking and grammar-checking by "running a program" on their text files?Here we have numbers-checking working the same way.I bet you this sort of feature gets built in to word processors eventually, and puts wavy red lines under the results it flags.We've had this sort of real-time "syntax" checking in software engineering for half a generation. It seems wise for other disciplines to consider adopting it too.It's obviously got to be discretionary, just like spell-check is discretionary in browsers.We will get a new genre of humor, thought "statcheck fail."
