Hi Ken,
Postdocs can be wrong and they are about the journals you list. Pick
your friends carefully because you are not being served well by these
postdocs. Ask them to give an example and consider the laboratory
expertise of these postdocs who can’t reproduce published chemical
literature. Who taught the postdocs is another question. Don’t be too
confrontational as postdocs often have sensitive egos.
