An article by an author whose paper was proved wrong
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02870-z

As a statistician with 20 years of experience in the field of ecology, I recently faced a challenging moment. In August, some colleagues in Canada published a response1 to a paper that I co-wrote a decade ago, showing that the method my co-authors and I proposed back then is fundamentally flawed.

An excellent response. I wish a significantly larger portion of society would be as mature and reasonable about being proved wrong about anything, let alone something important to them.
