Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Not that academics were stupid, but making mistakes usually obvious in hindsight. And yeah there would be some malice as well, as everywhere, including here, because everybody's a human until those rigorous methods weed humanity out of the processes (way to go).
- native_samples 5y agoMany of the studies couldn't be replicated because the original authors didn't provide sufficient details in their papers, and then refused to reply when asked for those details. Whether this is malice or not is kind of irrelevant - they have failed to meet the most basic requirements expected of researchers. They took the money but did not deliver the expected work artifacts.
