Another straw-man argument

Georg Siebeck, Freibier für Wissenschaft? Börsenblatt, October 21, 2004. Another critique of OA based entirely on misunderstandings --e.g. that OA is only justified if there is a dark conspiracy among publishers to limit access, that OA journals compromise on peer review, that the current system is working well, and that OA advocates think publishing is costless. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)
