Phrased as "how does X influence Y" makes it sound vague, but I think that the question they asked would be better phrased "to what degree does X influence Y"—they got results which varied along a continuum, but not in random different ways. So the actual questions themselves weren't vague, and the researchers all treated it as meaning the same thing, they just came up with different degrees in the results.
- RandomLensman 3y agoBut how does that really relate to replication? What they found out is more like: with interpretability come different results.
- mcphage 3y agoI agree (and said as much in another comment). The different groups didn't come up with different effects, they came up with different magnitudes of the same effect. This doesn't seem like a replication crisis.
