It's hard to convince a newbie to do that. "Hey, make your own twitter just for you, and then put up with a bunch of bullshit because you don't know what you are doing and there are people who will try to ruin you over it."

Doing that for every paper would be impractical. First off, there is a barrier between fields. A mathematician (or as it would be in the case of this paper, a statistician) may not understand the data the astronomer is working with (this can be a big deal because astronomers do a lot of tweaking to extract data from what is basically noise, which skews it's statistical nature). Conversely, Astronomers and physicists tend to have a very poor background in statistical analysis (this actually frustrates me because two of the biggest fields in physics, Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, are really just applications of statistics). Ideally a peer-review process would catch these mistakes, but if no one understands the math behind it well enough, then the "experts" will inevitably make mistakes. But also, that's a lot of papers, it's unrealistic to expect everyone to hire a mathematician to check the most basic aspects of your work. In theory you should be competent enough to do it yourself.
The only way forward is to train astronomers so that they are more well versed with the math they are trying to apply. This means actually teaching them statistics, which they currently do not do to any significant degree.

I found the abstract. 30% of papers (out of 75) did their math wrong.

I've been at a astrophysics conference for the last week. One of the speakers told a story about how he once published a paper showing that a lot of papers were basically doing math wrong (making up notation, using notation wrong, and then jumping to false conclusions based off that bad notation). He received so much hate that he decided he would never do that again.RT:

In shape, good artist, and he's right about most of the rw sphere being lazy blobs. He's the exception to the rule with Koreans, though he does occasionally have some weird things to say, like how he eats blood because it tastes good (Edit: he didn't say that about blood, I misheard).
