Show that nudge doesn’t have an effect. Like most science it seems like the conclusion should be, go do more research to see if we’re right, not, you should conclude that nudging doesn’t work.
- mcswell 4y agoThey're implying that some such research has already been done, but wasn't published because of publication bias against negative results. So the data exists, but is missing from publication. (I suspect it's also possible that more skeptical researchers have been dissuaded from even doing the research, for fear they'd be wasting their time and research budget because after they did the research, it wouldn't get published.)
- mikkergp 4y agoRight but they’re implying that statistically, they don’t have a pile of said research on their desk that they’re pointing too.
