Here's an amusing (if depressing) tale of a physicist's attempt to publish a comment on another's work.

I have to say, his ending comment that when journals publish a paper with a mistake, both the editors and authors try to cover it up astonishes me. Others are going to build upon a broken foundation just because the authors of the original work don't have the guts to come out and say "I am wrong."
