Right. And TC journals don't ask their authors to do TC research for free; they
ask them to write about what they have already been paid to do.

Okay, yeah, the person who writes up a book review or a bibliographic essay,
as I did recently, may not have been paid at all--either while doing or while
writing. Yep, I admit it. I did it for the credential. But are you saying
that a
student of biochemistry or history can't, or wouldn't, do the same for their
journal?
