Lately, I've been feeling more of this. I work in numerical simulations of galaxies, and I feel like people are just running simulations and writing papers without bothering to check things like sensitivity to the parametrized recipes for unresolved physics. What really irks me is that when you really do worry about these things, you just look like someone who can't produce compared to these people who are getting jobs without any repercussions from flip-flopping their results every couple of years. Because these simulations can be compared to reality only in very tangential ways, it's like there is no need to worry about being wrong...
