Beta Science?

If this paper is representative of the quality of work that we can expect in this journal, one should be weary of the availability of such robust mechanisms for immediate public criticism. Given the ostensible motives of the PLOSone experiment, I am tempted to level, at this paper, what I hope that anyone with a nodding acquaintance with fMRI methodology would see as damning and obvious criticism. I will for the time refrain from such banal and vicious activity, as I hope that it would be a meaningless exercise in pointing out the evident.
