I really doubt there’s any academic rigor behind that tbh

The original claim was the NYT abuses anonymous sources without citing anyone. The NYT, in the only occurrence of "researchers say" in the article, literally quote a person who's written a book on the subject on the next line.

We can move the goal post and now debate the person's credentials, but we can do that because we know their name.

He’s not a researcher though. He’s a lecturer.
