The section "Similar incidents" bears a notice from November 2015 that it may stray too far from the topic, and invites discussion here. Sadly, in the one year and more that has elapsed since that notice was posted, no other editor has seen fit to comment. Possibly the editor who posted the notice may have got more traction with an RfC. FWIW, I'll give my opinion of the question, and hope to see some other comments here, before ... let's see, 2020? Who knows, I may even start an RfC myself ...
Why is Derrida the first citation for the SA being called a Hoax. The Lingua Franca issue published prior to Derrida's Le Monde piece does that same: http://linguafranca.mirror.theinfo.org/9607/tsh.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:3902:b10a:484e:8f3a:c810:4ae6 (talk • contribs)
The article could use a Legacy section because it is being discussed to this day. Critics of the current university and peer-review system will bring this up on a daily basis. Many detractors of mainstream academia want more experiments like the Sokal Hoax to test journal's integrity. At the same time, Sokal continues to be scathingly criticized by those who point out that peer-review processes aren't set up to detect insincerity on the part of the writer, and that the current peer-review protocols stress distinction between considering an article to be worthy of publication and considering the article to be genuinely good or insightful. 2601:18D:C180:F6A0:0:0:0:718E (talk) 00:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
@AlsoWukai: Many of these terms are not familiar and I linked those. Why delinkify? Greatder (talk) 06:19, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
