I feel like requiring that your cited references are real is a pretty low bar

Let's be honest though, most of the not-real cited papers aren't copy/paste errors. If a few legitimate people fall through the cracks, it's a shame, but the wave of slop has to be dealt with somehow

arXiv is gatekeeping science by only accepting fact-based papers instead of fairytales.
