## Articles

- [Why should we NOT get used to it?](https://www.mgravey.com/viewpoints/why-should-we-not-get-used-to-it/): Adapting to a problem can make it easier to leave unresolved. We should keep questioning habits, examining their costs, and expecting improvement.
- [Should a new idea already outperform the state of the art?](https://www.mgravey.com/viewpoints/should-a-new-idea-already-outperform-the-state-of-the-art/): Current performance alone cannot determine a research direction's value. Requiring new ideas to win before supporting their development can prevent breakthroughs.
- [Should Peer Reviews Be More Intensive for High-Impact Journals?](https://www.mgravey.com/viewpoints/peer-review-effort-high-impact-journals/): Two valid philosophies collide: same rigor everywhere vs extra rigor where flaws can propagate further.
- [DEM of Difference vs. Differences of DEM](https://www.mgravey.com/viewpoints/dem-of-difference-vs-differences-of-dem/): Why 'DEM of Difference' is semantically shaky, and why 'differences of DEMs' is cleaner and more precise.
