That's the administrative aspect of the question. But as a scientist, I'm more interested in knowing if the result is real. Sometimes even fatally flawed papers make valuable contributions, because the proposed approach will lead to the claimed result, once done properly.

I'm not aware of any fatally flawed paper that leads to the claimed result when done properly. Could you share an example?
