Or does it help if Bert Vogelstein is a coauthor? And should Vogelstein coauthorship be considered as luck or determinism?
There have been a lot of critical comments about this paper "Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions" which make me wonder how it could have passed peer review. See for instance:

and https://www.researchgate.net/post/Cancer_a_mere_matter_of_luck_Or_is_there_something_under-appreciated
Do you know other examples where the standards required for publication in high profile journals were so obviously lowered when "star" scientists were among the authors?
