	Reading this comic again in 2023 and thinking about how comprehensively we've had to prove chloroquine's inefficacy for treating covid. It turns out that the key to exhausting a field of research is convincing a large number of people to do something completely nonsensical and blaming it on science.

		+	Can't argue with [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2268:_Further_Research_is_Needed&curid=22742&diff=336941&oldid=295607 this replacement word], but the definitions given in the reason forgets the ''very'' common coinage that is based upon either {{wiktionary\|belie#Verb 1\|this, meaning 1}} ''or'' {{wiktionary\|belie#Verb 2\|this, meaning 6}} (probably both should be together, given that they lay even more interchangably than the likes of "laid", "layed" ''and'' "lain", depending upon dialectical preference...). And why also mention {{wiktionary\|belay#Verb\|this, meanings 3 or 4}} when it's more like the same (not even mentioned) word but instead meanings 1, 5, 6 or 7 (i.e. laid in play/in use/in full view, rather than laid aside). I'm surprised, in fact, to not find either word in the list of {{wiktionary\|Appendix:English_contranyms\|contranyms}}. So, yes, good edit if you thought it wasn't an obvious context how it was, but a very confusing justification. ((No, I don't think I wrote the original, but it is put in a way that I'd happily use myself, if needed.)) [[Special:Contributions/172.69.195.113\|172.69.195.113]] 06:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

		+	The comic's description alleges that the paper here claims to thoroughly explore all there is to its topic, but the last line only speaks of remaining questions that were supposed to be solved therein (which even leaves open whether this paper is the first one to assail those remaining questions).
