"The new study may be a final blow to destiny implications formed in marshmallow test research,"
The broader implications with respect to the 'integrity' of the scientific work in various disciplines here is almost the whole story.
That we can't count on 'the marshmellow' test is marginal relative to how these issues add up and how we don't seem to have a strategy or set of tactics to address the reality of the 'fuzziness' of science, especially in an era where we need to convince people that 'vaccines are safe'.
I don't agree with dang's thesis that the generalisation is 'shallow'. I think the generalisation is the story here. It's the new, perennial issue. We are witnessing a new phase in the evolution of Enlightenment values particularly because we are coming to terms with the reality of a lot of what is being published these days, it's the heart of the matter. We need much more dialogue about this, especially institutionally.
