The speed offered by electronic publication, at least of the sort we practice, makes it ideal for provocative balloons - and counterblasts. We would sooner see something err on the side of being provocative, rather than suiting the dean. If it makes errors - well, they must be weighed against the ideas. We are, therefore, reasonably non-interventionist in our editorial policy. We do often have our material read.
Bloated balloons have a habit of stimulating debate.
One last point. The term is easily confused with canonical and that with truth. Print based journals, especially those in classics, often seem subject to this confusion. Their articles, rather than being designed to stimulate or to enunciate provisionally the state of textual play, make an exaggerated claim upon truth and, worse still, confuse this truth with accurate proof reading. It is as if the criterion for the preservation of the texts of classical antiquity have been confounded with their exegesis and, indeed, with the dissemination of that research.
