Are you saying that we should be less distrustful of medical biology than of physics? I don’t see why that should be so

  no, the other way around (obviously?)

    But, that’s my point. I’m telling you that you should be distrustful of physics, so you should be really distrustful of medical science

      I haven't seen any real serious replication problems in physics that didn't get cleared up, or anything else that would make me doubt the results. I would generalize the statement: assuming a reductive order of sciences (medicine->biology->chemistry->physics), if one cannot trust a layer, it seems even more likely that layers above it should be trusted even less.

        I personally don't believe in a reductive order of sciences
