I suspect it wont replicate. Not because there was any flaw in the original. But because today's students have heard of that study and will be more suspicious.

My preferred perspective is an educational one. Students were administered a test, and they failed it. It's a statement about a specific group of students in a specific time and place. They had (so far) received a lacking education. Educators and curriculum should respond to address the shortcoming.
