On proprietary software license as a means to guarantee scientific integrity

An anonymous editor (or several) have kept removing a paragraph about critiquing the use of closed-source client software as the means for preserving security and scientific integrity as proposed in the article.

The removal of the paragraph doubting this rationale, including the latest iteration, cites "original research" as the reason, while in fact all the statements in that critique are supported by references.

Needless to say, the openness of the scientific methodology of the research extends to the design and workings of the software tools used to process data.

The critique of this approach is not intended as a means to undermine the integrity of this project, but rather to balance a view presented by a scientific project as if it were a matter-of-fact, when in fact it is not.

I have restored an enhanced version of that critique, with better explanation of how the current client software already has functionality that can preserve integrity of the work even if it were opensource, as to avoid the possibility of unintentional implication of non-integriy, if it were the motive for removing the critique by those who could be associates of the research project.

I hope that a well-balanced section on this matter can be reached.

Is this article "written like an advertisement?"

I'm somewhat surprised to see this cleanup tag here, since this is a featured article. Does any part of this article need to be revised or rewritten? Jarble (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FAR prep

Noticed that there are two cleanup tags on this article. One being all the way back in 2016. Between this and non-sourced material in here, I think an FAR is in order. GamerPro64 04:38, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
