It ain’t science if it can’t be replicated.
Even this state school liberal arts grad knows that!
One is forced to wonder how many of these alleged results are simply exaggerations or outright falsification calculated to perpetuate grants and other funding...?
Fake science
Fake majors
Fake news
Fake GOP
Really? How about studies concerning “evolution,” cosmology, etc.? How does that make the useful idiot flock feel? Worthless, no doubt.
Science?!?
Shenanigans!!!
“The issue of replication goes to the heart of the scientific process.”
Unless you have a Consensus
But it is a religion. /s
…They blinded me with “science!”…
Fake science. Example: Climate Change.
Gee. Maybe that’s because their research is all BS.
There was a study done by the government as to why lesbians are fat. I actually consensus that one because they’re fat. Isaac Newton would have signed off on that one
Really dangerous when it comes to pharmaceutical development.
As long as an experiment’s reported results are Politically Correct they do not require replication- that’s what Political Correctness is all about, comrades.
Yep. Soooooo corrupt.
It is not a secret that pharma companies do not have to send studies that failed to the FDA. They can send only studies that show what they wanted and it is legal.
That’s crazy.
no surprise whatsoever.
fake news, fake science, it’s all fake, even the printed money.
This devolution into appeal to authority isn't new, it's plagued science since Og the Caveman picked up the first test tube. So, by the way, has the appeal to celebrity: on the one hand, Benjamin Franklin bedded half the women in the French court on the basis of scientific celebrity, on the other hand, his friend Antoine Lavoisier lost his head for it. Perhaps we should consider re-instituting the latter. It would add a little spice to the Climate Science fiasco.
Except for climate science, which can’t be reproduced at all. That one is solid as a rock.
Often in these big sponsored “scientific studies” the statistician who compiles the data, and arrives at a “conclusion” does not get paid until their work is reviewed by the sponsor. Often the “sponsor” insists on hiring the statistician of their choice for the project. Remember Mark Twain’s famous dictum “There are lies, there are dam lies and then there are statistics”. Data that does not correspond to a politically correct narrative or threatens the vested position of the “scientists” often gets “massaged” to comply with the needs of the sponsors or the investigators themselves.
