Why is it a terrible take? You first have to understand a community in order to reform it. You can't just say "I actually have no idea how to do research in this field, have not contributed anything substantial, have no money or soft power, but let me tell y'all how to do better science according to my subjective and very limited understanding."

I am a researcher in the field, I have SOTA models in ML, and I have a good number of citations for the experience level. Sure, I'm no rockstar, but neither am I below average.

I'm not sure why you jumped to the conclusion that I'm not part of this field.
