I think you might be onto something. A research paper or thesis, when boiled down, is just a product. How the product is made is difficult to determine, and there's an inherent incentive to make it the best product by any and all means. But if it were instead a process that was facilitated and had to be done in-person, that can be controlled more tightly

For reference, Illinois is the place Missouri folks can go for proper treatment (including abortion access). It can be a 4-5 hour drive from the west side of the state though

Honestly can't believe Google was so explicit in calling RCS an "open standard" and then turning around and doing this
