And that is a huge problem. Are you arguing that because null results are rarely published, we should publish them even less?

  Where are you possibly getting that from?

    We agree that currently it happens all the time. Some number of people (including eg. Roca) say that this is a problem - a "replication crisis" if you will. Those people say that perhaps papers with null results should be published. Perhaps -they say- publication of null results could be (one possible) (part of) the solution. Your reply sounded like you don't completely agree? Is that true, or did Roca read you wrong? Could you clarify?

      I agree that null results should be published. I was making the point that some otherwise reasonable people disagree, for career or other reasons. If I were a researcher, I probably would not attempt to get a null result published; I’d work on something else that actually had a chance of going into my tenure file.
