Apparently we discount everything The Lancet says now based on one retraction.

Not just that but not retracting fraudulent research is much worse than that?

Exactly. It's like a friend of mine who said he doesn't want to buy some car brand because they have so many recalls.

I want to buy that car brand because it has so many recalls.

Every system has bugs, and recalls means you're fixing them. Which to me is much better than hiding them.
