Not sure I know enough to have an opinion about that; what I've been commenting about is the "nudge is dead" attitude that I don't think is warranted.

and yet here you are responding in a thread with the conclusion clearly stated: >means it’s past time to reform a large chunk of academia. And you're taking exception to it, but now just claiming you're actually not, that these one sentence "you're wrong" responses are really something much more modest. Out of interest do you work in the field? Have ties as a graduate to one of the departments? Or are you completely disinterested when assessing the research? If I have an interest it's that quality research is performed that advances human knowledge with some kind of efficiency of the resources spend. ie fund something that is being done properly and well to some effect over something that has been shown to be run by those who seem to be utterly incompetent or fraudulent shysters or something else that engenders zero confidence. https://www.google.com/search?q=cass+sunstein+site%3Astatmodeling.stat.columbia.edu&oq=cass+sunstein+site%3Astatmodeling.stat.columbia.edu https://www.google.com/search?q=cass+sunstein+site%3Astatmod...

    Hey that's just what I said to you! Great minds etc. Hitch your wagon to Cass Sustein et. al. by all means... Famously successful and successfully famous. What else do you need to know? ESP might be a thing too, nobody has proved it isn't. But we have shut down the research departments at universities involved in that BS... https://www.google.com/search?q=cass+sunstein+site%3Astatmodeling.stat.columbia.edu&oq=cass+sunstein+site%3Astatmodeling.stat.columbia.edu https://www.google.com/search?q=cass+sunstein+site%3Astatmod...
