It's the TimesSelect argument:

The proceedings of the Royal Society are primarily intended for working professional scientists...but anyone who wants to pay can gain access. Comparing this publication to Times Select is disingenuous (and I'm being quite generous here). A fairer comparison is to Stratfor, or analytic journals intended for business professionals.
The abstract cannot be ignored. It is serious science.
