What’s concerning about the single QED score aside from the arguments in the paper is that it’s likely a ploy for QED to sell their paper validation solutions.

In a future where QED scores gain traction, every researcher will need a QED validator subscription to score their paper before publishing. Allowing researchers to tweak their papers for a higher score, potentially without substantial changes to their discovery.

Interesting but immoral customer acquisition tactic.

Yes, and when the system is not auditable it makes it easy for biases to propagate!
