An interesting experiment, but it all comes down to an effect at "p < 0.05." That's potentially a 1-in-20 chance of it being a meaningless fluke. Which given the very relaxed statistical standards in most behavioral studies isn't too surprising, but I thought in the "replication-crisis" era Nature at least would have more stringent requirements.
