Replication Crisis

It's not satire; that's just the sad state of scientific experimentation. A similar finding was widely publicized for psychology studies:http://www.nature.com/news/over-half-of-psychology-studies-f...

those studies are not 'science'. Have you heard of 'replication crisis'[1]? Also see the other top post currently on HN [2]..And, Yes universities are filled with idiots, egotists and scamsters with their own nefarious motives. How do you explain the absurd 90% hypothesis validation? [3]you have your own brain to observe and meditate on, why do you need some authority to tell you what to do.>If you want to prejudicially exclude research, don't claim to speak

I assume he's alluding to Ioannidis's 2005 paper "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False"[0] and/or the replication crisis[1] in general.[0] http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jou...[1] <a href="http://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-reprodu

Funny link in one of the comments to a paper titled "Most scientific results are false". Does that apply to that paper, too?

Don't worry, it's not just this field, roughly 70% of medical studies are fake or severely flawed [0].[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37572394

I'll break it down in a couple of bullet points.1. Science is hard.2. There is no such thing as a perfect study. Every method/methodology has weaknesses. Look for converging evidence across multiple studies which use different designs.3. Initial studies often do not have the funding needed to do things as optimally as possible in a single study, but they do provide evidence for ideas that can be pursued further.4. It is often socially safer to point out deficiencies than to
