For references, as the OP said, I don't see why it isn't possible. It's something that exists and is accessible (even if paywalled) or doesn't exist. For reasoning hallucinations are different.

> I don't see why it isn't possible

(In good faith) I'm trying really hard not to see this as an "argument from incredulity"[0] and I'm stuggling...

Full disclosure: natural sciences PhD, and a couple of (IMHO lame) published papers, and so I've seen the "inside" of how lab science is done, and is (sometimes) published. It's not pretty :/
