Any manifesto works more like an inhibitor of productivity and creativity,
exactly because it, with this manifesto in particular, imposes a force factor on
the premises of computational scientific creativity. Open source philopsophy is
an enormous value to scientific creativity and allows all groups to contribute
to the scientific arena. This philosophy is not in tune with such this
manifesto, it seems rather that the manifesto is correlated with a need to
rigidify processes which have to be based on openess and sincerity among
scientists and by the scrutinizing potential of reviewers. If a manifesto should
replace that very profound criteria, we can as well pack our stuff and start
working with something else. The nature of the manifesto is more inquisitory
which is itself an original enemy of science. So why adopt such measures?
If a scientific work was falsified and presented incredible findings it would be
naturally exposed and investigated by the scientific arena it self, because
science is itself selv-investigating.
