From your link: >"So should intersecting confidence intervals be our definition of replication? This too has a flaw since it favors imprecise studies with very large confidence intervals. If effect size is ignored, we may waste our time trying to replicate studies reporting practically meaningless findings." I don't see why the definition of a replication should have anything to do with practical use or precision of the estimate. These are other important, but different, issues. Intersecting estimates of the plausible range is fine as a definition. The observations are consistent with each other. The best way to make these estimates is yet another tangential issue.
