|Preamble=One problem with the current scientonomic workflow is that the commentators of a suggested modification are ''not allowed to reformulate'' the original formulations proposed by the author of that suggested modification. When discussing a suggested modification, it sometimes happens that commentators come up with alternative formulations which, compared to the original formulation, have a better chance convincing the community. We've had cases like this during our off-line discussions. Yet, such reformulations are currently forbidden by the scientonomic workflow, which stipulates that any such reformulation should be suggested in a new paper, registered as a separate suggested modification, and assessed accordingly. Thus, even when all the discussants agree that a tweak to the original formulation can solve the problem, the current workflow doesn't leave them any choice other than working on publishing another paper with the tweaked formulation. workflow forbids such a course of action. This creates a bottleneck, as it postpones a possible consensus formation by adding an unnecessary bureaucratic layer.
