Didn't even see a mention of what science really is. I bet you many "scientists" don't know (pun intended) and couldn't tell you what science is.
Knowing an experiment or observation is not repeatable _is_ knowledge that _can be_ useful. What are the causes of non-repeatability? That's even more useful to know.
The observation and experimentation processes of science may be reflexive and would be worth investigating.
The money spent on "science" has created ecosystems where the novel, accidental discovery might be more likely.
The claim that "science" is self-correcting must be supported by evidence.
Finally, the media reporting of science does injustice to scientists by making claims not put forth in publications so frequently, that you are wise to disregard any media reporting of the science, and must go to the paper itself.
