PLoS ONE's decision not to have a proper PROOF stage in the publication process sucks! Especially when they introduce errors!
What's really annoying is that they refuse to admit their fuck-*p!
- Jan Wessnitzer
And more importantly refuse to do anything about it! Other than post a correction comment!

After a few firm emails, it seems there is a chance of a corrected pdf. Come on PLoS ONE, you can do this.... Please!

Jan, are you ranting as an author or an editor? If you're a P.ONE editor you can post to the discussion forums, which might help to get things done. (Or might not -- I've never tried taking a problem there. But it can't hurt, I guess.)

Ranting as an author! I am making progress though as Plos 1 have agreed to submit a "republication request".
- Jan Wessnitzer
Why don't PLoS provide a proof though? All this could have been prevented by involving the authors a bit more in the very last stage of the publication process. Anywho, something PLoS could and should improve upon.
