I think you're hitting an important point here. The academy at its best is meant to be like a hospital for people's ignorance about their subjects and neglectful, intellectually lazy practices. What you're commenting on right now is the many forms of proverbial sicknesses that have gotten out of control. I personally think if the situation is going to be improved, it's a "physician heal thyself" situation, where some of the very people guilty of p-hacking and junk science are even now being called to come forward and change, taking on a risk of their careers as a sacrifice in exchange for a real possibility for us all to move forwards.
