Amen. Worst is Sage's new "open access" function that enables you to read as long as you are online, and refuses to give you the bloody PDF. Authors, if your article is "open" via this &#@% view-only link, PLEASE put the pdf on researchgate/academia.edu/somewhere one can find it and read offline!!

Dafür fehlt Netanyahu jeder Wille irgendetwas zu beenden. Und dass seine Koalitionäre irgenwelche sicherheitspolitische Erfahrung hätten wäre auch eine steile These... aber hey, quasi die halbe Opposition sind Ex-Generäle, die haben ja naturgemäß da wenig Ahnung von Sicherheitspolitik...

A main difference is whether institutional validation (by science, courts, journalism) is considered relevant. Most people think so, conspiracy theorists don't.
