  0 chance this replicates, anything before 2016 I immediately write off. (i.e. clearly pre-replication crisis) Halycon days of TED talks laundering cute little tidbits that seemed irrational but we all wanted to believe.

    Fair point, not sure if it'll replicate. I just vaguely remember there's a thing in psych that if you act like it (a bit) then you become it a bit. Don't have the time to research it.
