I'd rather call Power Posing a bad idea that went big.

  It's not a terrible hypothesis. The fact that it doesn't replicate doesn't make it a bad idea to have had in the first place - only one that didn't stand up to (further) investigation.

    It was a reasonable idea and worth testing, but I think we should start the criticism a step earlier than replication. There were a lot of issues with the original study, both methodological failures (testing saliva after giving rewards) and academic ones (the admitted p-hacking). This was a worthwhile experiment that would never have reached initial publication if held to existing best practices.
