Very well said, H3rmit. Your academic experience is standing you well.
I added some emphasis to your quote in hopes that others may truly grasp the truth of which you speak.
Discrimination is a learned skill, a tool, and vital to university/academic survival, as we know. Some have not had the experience to hone that skill, nor to
discern valid research from 'junk research'.
The qualifications of the researchers, from very good research schools, as you pointed out, can be discerned by going to the
original research publication info to
verify legitimacy. Of course, that takes some perhaps academic inquisitiveness, some time and effort, but will sharpen skills of perception and accuracy in comments, for all of us here and other meaty thread discussions.
Here, for ease, is the original research publication
citation
and as well the link to the research publisher's
pedigree, if you will:

She is an artist without doubt disappointed that paradise was not as close in 1969 as she and so many others hoped it was. Her work is now filled with the reality of humanity's failure to achieve the prophetic dream of her song, but never without the hope that that day will yet come.
