So I am speed reading this: DNA Methylation and Protein Markers of Chronic Inflammation and Their Associations With Brain and Cognitive Aging https://n.neurology.org/content/97/23/e2340.abstract

I read the abstract, in reverse order. Discussion and Results first.

If it seems plausible ( much research is trash, churned out to pad a CV ) and interesting, then I scan the Methods section.

This heuristic helps classify 95% as utter trash or outside my current area of interest in less than 10 seconds.

If it seems seriously interesting, I then read the full text the same way ie: backwards.

At no point do I want pretty visualisations made by wannbe PhD candidates, full of misinterpretations, wishful thinking or outright fraud.

See Figure (5). Your argument doesn't really counter any part of the scientific notebook. A notebook will still have the abstract and conclusion (result & discussion). The tools mentioned in the article describes how to restructure the methods, data, and figures. You're note going to look at these anyways until the abstract and conclusion intrigues you.
