If the same thing has been done here, what's the point? Sokal already made that point long ago. There is no academic goal in repeating that experiment.
Moreover, repeating it 20-fold? That's not even ethical - either one success proves your point, or were going to need a control group and rigorous methodology.
Since the trio reject the notion of control groups, they should have understood that getting more than one paper accepted was not furthering their experiment, only their ego.
Strange argument. As far as I know, they submitted the papers to different journals. Sokal's hoax targeted again a different journal in a different field twenty years ago. Of course the results are specific to the journal and the discipline- but even in the case of multiple papers accepted by the same journal, it would just reinforce the result.
