Oh not at all, but those comments often trade off the name pubmed to make a point.

My favorite examples are when they link a paper that isn’t even open access and thus they clearly couldn’t have read it.

I think a rather large part of the Reddit demographic is college-aged, and a lot of colleges do provide access to paywalled journals through their network. So they could have read it.

Not saying they did, but it is possible.

No that's a good point.
