>What are your thoughts on how to implement such a reputational effect?
I think it should be similar to how journalists are treated after they are involved in a major scandal (usually reporting something speculative as fact). Personally, I don't think there's any excuse for unreproducible results. They are worse than silence, they are lies that spread other lies.
- itcrowd 7y ago(To continue your journalist analogy) So what happens to "the journalist" when something speculative is reported in a newspaper piece that is written by 7 people five years ago? In addition, five of the seven writers are now working different jobs in the private sector, no longer writing in any newspaper.
- ShorsHammer 7y agoNothing happens in journalism much like in science and in many other fields like disgraced police officers who end up climbing the ladder still. Case in point: Michael Riley who wrote Bloomberg's thoroughly debunked story on SuperMicro "The Big Hack", has now been promoted to manage all of the their cybersecurity coverage.
