These people ostracize and hassle those who try to do a honest job and point out the issues with their methods. They also drive the people trying to do a good job out of the field because they can't compete with the fake productivity people like Wansink enjoyed.
Also, the unnecessary suffering caused by this behavior is basically unimaginable. Who knows what advances we would have made if 90+% of resources dedicated to science during this golden era of cheap energy hadn't been wasted? We can't even estimate that.
But yea, Wansink is just the tip of the iceberg. I've been saying for awhile that future generations will need to double check everything since about 1940, because the professional researchers have not been checking each others work, and have been using known incorrect methods to draw conclusions (NHST).
