Because it looks more credible, obviously. In a sense it's cargo cult science: people observe this is the style of science, and so copy just the style; to a casual observer it appears to be science.
- nickpsecurity 1y agoProfessional science has been doing that a long time if one considers that many published works were never independently tested and replicated. If it's a scientist, and uses scientific descriptions, many just repeat it from there.
- jxjnskkzxxhx 1y agoOverly reductionistic. At the same time a proper rebuttal isn't worth the time for someone who's clearly not looking to understand.
- NeutralCrane 1y agoPublication in a journal is not a requirement for the scientific method. If anything, the insistence that something not published in a scientific journal is not science is, itself, cargo cult scientism.
