Whatever you are feeling is a normal response. Give yourself time and space to process, connect with others for support, and begin healing. I am happy to help in any way I can!

Haha. the content was:
If a paper is great, the credit goes to the first author.
If a paper has any flaws, the responsibility falls on the last author.

Corollary: If you lack bandwidth or expertise to act as the verifier, then you shouldn't sign up to be the senior author of a paper!
Unpopular opinion:
When a paper has a senior mentor and a junior mentee, the senior author must make sure the claims are correct and well supported. They must check every claim and gate the submission until it meets that bar.

I think for every deliverable, there has to be one person who is responsible (gets it done) and one person who is accountable (makes sure it's done correctly).
Middle authors can be responsible or accountable for a subset of tasks.

The junior author is the generator. The senior author is the verifier. The verifier should teach/distill some checks to the generator, but the verifier keeps final responsibility. If a wrong claim gets out, it is on the verifier!
