Isn't this simply maximizing the probability of a successful reproduction? Seems almost obvious given the whole problem was low reproducibility in the first place.
- deegles 10y agoI thought that was what we wanted?
- SilasX 10y agoSufficiently advanced reproducibility is indistinguishable from correctness.
- TheOtherHobbes 10y agoOr systemic (as opposed to systematic) bias. Independent, adversarial reproducibility implies some possibility of correctness. But psychology doesn't seem to do what science usually does - build models and make independent predictions from them. Finding patterns in data is not the same as testing a null hypothesis which is the result of a model, and not just a random query. Or an accidental discovery.
