1. What did you like about the discussion?
The original proposition (OA paper saving a life) was thought provoking, yet limited in documentable (provable) scope
2. What did you learn?
Returning to this singular proposition for judging evidence was similarly limited - nevertheless thought provoking.
3. What could have been better?
I think it was very good in that it provoked me to do a deep dive into my understanding of OA.
You can find the re-print Qeios paper that was posted on the subject somewhere in the discussion. [*see note below]

I would appreciate it if any or all would go and review this OA paper - most of the papers I published on Qeios were reviewed on average about 4 times with a range of 1-16, I think.
Of note is that I refuse to pay for OA journal publication - occassionally my institution paid but not frequently.
Qeios is free to preprint and you are welcome to pay them for additional services such as proofing or solicited review.
Another paper I had printed there that got a good review was subsquently picked up by a (possibly) reputable journal that liked the paper enough to waive the publication fees. I did not look that gift horse in the mouth...
Advancing Multimorbidity Analysis: A Computational Approach to Frequency-Based Odds Ratios and Temporal Disease Progression Modeling with Potential for Use in Clinical Assessment

I highly recommend this group (as I think Harvard did at its inception)... All papers and their reviews are indelible as long as there is funding for the site (I surmise), and of course electricity (rotating brownouts on the horizon to support AI). And one may update your paper based on the feedback that one receives.
Best,
David
