Post-mortem of a flawed research manuscript

This blog was going to be a place to discuss that papers we read on Friday afternoons and it still will be. However, Thomas Keller had a different idea. Maybe you think it's good, maybe you think it's bad, maybe you have no idea what that idea is. Read the below and let us know what you think.  Both about Thomas' post-mortem and the direction this blog is taking. If you're worried about what's going to happen to HCJC, don't be. Friday afternoons won't change and my recent email will likely be the last sent to the listserv about this blog.
The file Thomas sent was created using lyx. It's kinda like LaTex, actually a LaTex GUI of sorts. If you don't have the program installed either you won't be able to open the file or it will be a vaguely decipherable text file. If you do have the program it will resemble the this screenshot from my computer. Here's where to get lyx:

You'll probably need some kind of Tex as well:
