Sorry. Don't get it.
I did quick search and see dozen articles from Psychologist, discussing the replication problem and how to deal with it, how to create better experiments. And, another dozen discussing which ones DO REPLICATE, and which don't, and what is the difference.
50% of experiments do replicate, so maybe it is just taking a glass-half-full attitude.
The field is very much actively dealing on this and improving. So not sure what proof's HN would need.
That is why I'm saying, right now the attitude seems very much be "we really diss-like these fields (because we're so biased against anything that isn't STEM), so they really can't do anything right no matter the evidence".

They're going to have to re-earn our trust.
