Yes, that's bad. I've made the title clear, at least, above.




Would it make sense to replace the link with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Allen or a proper biography?

And maybe even permaban a site that's fabricating interviews with real people (without disclosing that until 16,000 words later).


I've written to <voxmeditantis@gmail.com> about how deceptive it was to put the Editorial Note at the end instead of upfront. I stopped reading because sections felt fabricated - but it was presented as an oral history or actual interview. What a terrible way to present the work of a pioneer.

I have received feedback from Vox. The article has been updated with a new leading paragraph indicating the fictional nature of the article.
