Academics know. Journals have to retract.

Almost all papers referencing this retracted one cite problems with methodology and definitions, not to mention the timeline that this was published in (2022). There was also doubt that any teaching institutions were using it in any comprehensive way at that time prior.

So yeah. They knew. The journal took convincing though.

We have known the mirror test is flawed for a long long time.

African children consistently failed it until older (than white children) because they didn’t know what a mirror was or what was appropriate to do in the presence of one.

The surveillance is working then.

I haven’t gotten that perception from them. But I mostly listen to their podcasts, which often goes into much more detail than the articles.

Some of the best I’ve seen is 404media.

Interesting articles and a fairly good spread from such a small team.
