The premise that coauthors on papers make equal contributions is in itself grossly biased. They don&#x27;t. I&#x27;m coauthor on papers I&#x27;ve never even read. If you were looking at the class of Scott Locklin on papers I&#x27;m named on, assuming everyone is supposed to get equal credit, using the methods they did, I&#x27;d be considered to be unfairly not getting enough credit, because there are less of me than everyone else and most of the papers I&#x27;m in, I do not deserve equal credit. The proper comparison class is, do principal authors get equal credit for their contributions, normalized to their proportion in the population.
