Deep in the trenches a lot of research these days is actually just pretty fucking useless. There are many, many results that unfortunately do not replicate in even slightly different situations. It's a very inefficient way to be searching the scientific space so to speak, and it's a more modern phenomenon. We've scaled (or tried to) science in IMO a really bad way. At least in neurobiology I'm very convinced of that.
