Trash comment.
1st. Splashy often comes from the media, not the scientists
2nd. One of the ways we discover problems with data is by plotting. When the plot library has a bug that hides a problem, well shit.
3rd. They did check their own findings multiple ways. Mistakes happen. The biggest critics of scientific mistakes are often those that have never done science themselves. Its easy, and its a cheap play.
- keenmaster 3y agoGenuine question: you don’t think that outlier analysis (with moderate diligence) would have picked up the error in the original study, despite the plotting library issue? Just look at this link - this wasn’t detectable with any type of cross-validation? https://arxiv.org/html/2402.14583v1/x1.png https://arxiv.org/html/2402.14583v1/x1.png
