These are indeed super important considerations. I wonder if the no-free-lunch extends also to sustainability in the sense of pressure on researchers (often PhD students) to publish and outpace their peers, which is exacerbated by social media bias etc. - how should we balance stricter sustainability requirements with researcher wellbeing? As I commented earlier, I am very hesitant to bring up this topic with my students, who are often already struggling with technical aspects of the project and could not handle yet another tool. Should I just get my stuff together?
