Maybe you are right, but Science isn't an outlier here. All journals are loathe to publish direct refutations of previously published articles. Conference papers are even worse in that regard - zero room for refutations. "The field has moved on" is probably, second to "The article contains factual errors" the most common reason for article rejections. This problem is not limited to Psychology either. It is just as prevalent, if not more so, in Computer Science.
