Publication mints coins/points which immediately flow to cited articles.

Is this true even if I am citing the article just to show how bad it is?

Also, this would preserve (maybe even increase) many existing problems with the scientific publishing, such as splitting your ideas into many little articles, citing your friends who cite you in return, etc.
