Getting funding to replicate an experiment, which necessarily expanded to spend all of the available funding for the initial experiment so as to minimize the problemspace, is problematic with inflation alone. Imagine how human organizations work. Decisioning about spending relies more on past data than unknown data. If an experiment is in question, that's an unknown. If a finding exists that's a known, so why bother spending to reduce value? This is typical CYA thinking.
- feralimal 6y agoYes. I think we're agreeing... The costs are prohibitive, so why do check? And if you know you aren't likely to get checked and you're running a study that would be very nice to have a particular outcome, well, wouldn't it be nice to get that outcome? Only, that's not how science is meant to work.
