I fully agree. The reputation of the author or authors also influence the article's citations, therefore, that publishing journal's impact. I've seen one researcher's article cited 28,000 times since 1994. I find it hard to believe that one article is specifically relevant to that many articles whereby a citation I warranted. Citation counts can be influenced by celebrity status of the author or authors n a journal article.
I have three recent articles on this topic already uploaded to my ResearchGate profile page if anyone is interested.
Greetings, here is an interesting point of view regarding journal impact factors.
"Scientists have a love-hate relationship with the journal impact factor (JIF), the measurement used to rank technical journals by prestige."
"A small fraction of influential papers get most of the citations, whereas the vast majority of papers get few or none at all. So the average number of citations is often highly misleading."
