Those statements are so incredibly antithetical to the ethos of science. It amazes me they could say something like that and keep face among their peers. My hope is that history does not look kindly on such words.
- Bartweiss 10y agoThose comments are shockingly close to just announcing "caring whether my studies are right gets in the way of my career". I realize that good social scientists may get stuck falling behind bad ones in reputation, and I think that's a structural problem. But responding to that with a demand to stop checking for bad results is shocking, and it's not something that should be acceptable for a practicing researcher. I hope those voices don't slow down the effort to reform these fields.
