    I've seen people say this a few times, and I think it is attacking a misreading of the comment (snarkily, to boot). Charitable interpretation: In a discussion, if someone says "Citation needed", it means "I'm skeptical and I'm asking for a citation" (which is quite reasonable), not "You should have supplied a citation before I asked for it" (which I would agree is unreasonable for statements one doesn't expect to be contentious).

    > Oh wait, this is discussion, not an academic paper. It's literally an academic discussion insofar as it's about the technicalities of an academic paper. So yes, you really do need to support your arguments if you want them to be taken seriously.

  The replication problem has been well documented, at least for the social sciences. A cursory search for “replication crisis” will yield many results. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

    The replication crisis is a problem, but it is almost certainly not the main source of societies ills.
