- BeetleB 10mo agoThat's Dan Ariely. I don't think there's any known example of Kahnemann fabricating data.
- Analemma_ 10mo agoAs fair as I know none of the research by Kahemann himself is suspect, but a lot of the studies he cited in Thinking Fast and Slow, especially the ones about priming, have failed to replicate. YMMV on what this implies for the book as a whole.

- regularization 10mo agoI don't know of any thimble recent (or non-recent) where Gould was "caught fabricating details or whole results". In 1981 Gould accused Morton of fabricating details. Gould died 20 years after that. Nine years after Gould died, some said Morton had not fabricated details. I should add Morton was a phrenologist who did not believe in common descent.
