Reminded me of the reaction to this paper in Medicine https://doi.org/10.2337/diacare.17.2.152

It's just rudimentary integration approximation to a mathematics undergraduate but to those in Medicine unfamiliar with it, it was an achievement.

I learned that integration approximation method in high-school. I’d love to see the responses too!
That sounds really interesting. Can you point to any of those reactions?
When it was discovered by the Mathematics community it was met with bemusement. Sorry, I'm recalling from memory here from years ago when I was a graduate student in Mathematics and don't have ready posts.

Meanwhile, it accumulated 300 citations in medicine and chem https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C4&q=A+Ma...
