- SunghoYahng 3y agoWhat if the claim of replication is a fraud?
- b800h 3y agoCurrently the replications look less professional than the (one) failure to reproduce. The next couple of days will be a rollercoaster.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoThen it increases the chance of fraud to 0% ~ 100%
- deyiao 3y agoThe probability is quite low, because that guy conducted the experiment through live streaming, and failed once. Then, he conducted the second experiment after adopting some suggestions from netizens.

- jrflowers 3y agoI like the confidence here. At the minimum the chance of fraud has gone to zero. At the maximum the chance of fraud has gone to negative infinity.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoNothing is reduced to 0%. I'd also abstain from differentiating "fraud" and "error" as this is irrelevant to whether the paper is reproducible. What we care about is true positives and negatives. But we'll also get false positives and negatives. So replication will have to happen at scale. Individual outcomes don't matter much.
- constantcrying 3y agoI think the chance of fraud was always very low. The whole debacle of how it got published seems to make certain that there is very little to gain and utter humiliation if it turns out to be irrelevant. Even if it isn't fraudulent it still may be false, but it seems quite certain that the authors believe in their own claim.
- Jweb_Guru 3y agoYeah, it's good to see that because there were some concerning signs in the last day or so.
