I know, that this doesn't help really, but in plasma physics as well as when dealing with degenerate matter and such 8 and 3 are the same number. Most of the time a scientist in these fields is happy to get the order of magnitude right! ;P

A preprint will still give less value to the negative result. No peer review (being a broken system or not) and not being published in a "proper" journal will make it less likely that the results will be recognised / accepted. The whole point is, that a negative result can have as much value as a positive one...

I was wondering, can't you count to 144 (12 x 12) using two hands using this knuckle counting approach?

Or 169 (13 x 13).

"The" EU is not a monolithic thing, there are liberal and conservative factions. Depending on the topic the resulting consensus can move quite a bit on that spectrum...
