The Last Psychiatrist talked about this sometimes. The problem is not just that the original studies need to be rescinded, or discredited going forward. The problem is what do you do about everything that cited them, that took the knowledge in the faulty papers and used it as a foundation for more knowledge? The faulty ideas in the paper have permeated out to researchers and (sometimes) the broader culture generally, what do you do about that?
