I think few people would disagree with you. But this is really the biggest danger. If you look at the studies that have been let's kindly say 'found to be less than well supported', you'd also find many that you would intuitively agree with the outcome of, or at least want to agree with. Psychology, and social psychology in particular, has a habit of confirming our biases and making us feel good. This, in turn, takes us off our guard for bad science. And by "us", I think this is something that's likely even issue within the field itself. You don't get a 23% replication rate without there being some very severe problems within a field. Take for contrast, astrology. We all now know it's obviously fake. It even relies upon things we know are wrong, such as assuming planets can magically stop and start going the other way in their orbital trajectory. That assumption was based on an optical illusion driven by the assumption that everything revolved around the Earth. But for hundreds of years astrology was treated as respectable a science as any other. And I think it was for a similar reason. So compelling and entertaining are the correlations for astrology that even today you have millions, if not billions, of people that still partake in it to varying degrees. The psychology replication crisis is, in my opinion, hurting science as a whole. We should not indulge bad science even if it happens to tell us what we want to hear. It's making a mockery of what science is truly about.
