What if this is the best option we have for now? > slightly better than flipping a coin Also, to be clear, that doesn't accurately depict the results of the replication study. Almost every replication produced the same effects as the original experiment; in about half the replications, the effects were weaker. It's not that half the experiments were wrong; they were less conclusive.
