If scientific studies aren’t reproducible with the reported confidence, it fails as science.
replyIt would be worse if the experiments were not even falsifiable, yes.
But it’s pretty damn bad when the conclusion of the original study can never be confirmed when once in a rare min they try.
I am not saying we should be happy about the results.
replyI am saying we should be happy that the scientific method is working.
>I am saying we should be happy that the scientific method is working.
replyWasting peoples time on debunking others lies is not "the scientific method working".
These studies didn’t try to find theories, they tried to find results.
replyIn your example, it’s the same as someone publishing a paper that disproves Relativity - only for us to find that the author fabricated the data.
