It’s science, but not necessarily right
- jerrya 15y agoInteresting article. It links Richard Feynman's Cargo Cult Science http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~slu/on_research/fayman_science.html http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~slu/on_research/fayman_science.html regarding the importance of repeating experiments with John P. A. Ioannidis research, Why Most Published Research Findings Are False http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124 http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal...
- roundsquare 15y agoThis isn't really a condemnation of science as much as its a condemnation of scientific journals and the human process surrounding the scientific method, both of which are well known problems to anyone who follows science at all. This seems like the kind of article that gets written and stashed away to use on a slow news day.
