But worryingly, the process of replication, by which published results are tested anew, is incapable of correcting the situation no matter how rigorously it is pursued." This isn't referring to science, and these studies aren't being done by scientists. It is research, and these are researchers. I wish people would stop dragging science through the mud over these problems.
