Abstract

This study presents the Biblical details which expose the inadequacy of the eponymous reward called the “Matthew Effect” in Science. Indeed, apart from Matthew, two other Apostles held precisely the same view. Consequently, since the word, “Synoptic,” embodies all the three Apostles, the adequate allocation should be “the “Synoptic Effect” in Science.
