- algorias 10y agoIt is considered a serious problem by many, being a key part of the whole replication crisis. The idea that studies need to be preregistered is slowly gaining ground I feel.

Most people who smoke or eat badly are aware that it's a (serious) problem, but it does not necessarily lead to action. So that people "are aware" of something doesn't tell the whole story.
