Sooner or later everyone will get off their collective asses and start registering studies before they are performed so that this is enforced and tracked. Hopef

  Funnily enough, some research into parapsychology (and similar)--being, the serious research that goes into stuff barely at the edge of pseudoscience, does exactly this. Preregistration is an important part to even begin having any experiments into "remote sensing" or "extrasensory perception" taken seriously by the community. The "serious" part of it, any way. There's a bunch of statisticians who love analysing this kind of thing, and there's parapsychology researchers that love drafting up experiments that challenge and skirt the edges of experimental science. Not nearly enough of them of course. But still, it's kind of funny how certain fields in pseudoscience actually drive progress in statistics and scientific methodology :)
