Remember when you were taught science is reproducibile? . . . Well, not anymore

Better? Better than what?

Integity doesn’t mean anything anymore.

How’s Big Pharma gonna develop and sell drugs without new syndromes being created every few years?

You know what Big Pharma hates the most?

A healthy heart. :sunglasses:

Thursday is the same thing, but with Push muscles. That’s it. Less than 1 hour of gym time per week.

Must have been peer reviewing global warming papers, which I’m sure they gave the stamp of approval!

Its worse, if the in situ data they get doesn’t support the hoax they throw it out and use grid averaging taking the average of the 4 highest temperatures bordering the grid.

Science is to accurately report outcomes, regardless of success, or failure, to further knowledge. Politics demands results to comply with the objectives of the politicians, with anything contrary to those objectives to be ignored and/or ridiculed.

Good thing for them that they’ll have plenty of new patients from the young men who were cv19 vaccinated.

There are two intermingled themes here:

  1. this is how science is supposed to work! A person develops a hypothesis, tests it, others review the methods and results. If if passes that review, it’s published and others attempt to replicate them.

If others can’t replicate the results, the results aren’t accepted. That’s an excellent system for confirming science. The fact that science tosses things that aren’t replicable is a feature, not a bug

  1. the Bug is the pressure to publish new, different understandings that have high potential to have large impact. There’s not much funding in replication. So researchers seek out more novel, flashier ideas - and I’m more than one case, build the data to match the idea.

I believe what the articles, at the head of this thread reveal two things

  1. Science is NOT tossing them, except in rare an abberant cases.
    (if science were effectily policing itself the the articles at the head would have found falsification rates of 1 or 2 or 5%, more in line with the rates of roofers, driveway resealers, auto mechanics etc.)

  2. When someone is discovered producing such non-reproducible quackery, ther are little or no repercussions. Certainly nothing that would compare with what would happen if plumber lied 49% of the time, or a big corporation covered up for its team of employees who lie 49% of the time.
