Isn't trying to discount published research with a glorified blog post the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action?

Isn't trying to discount published research with a glorified blog post the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action?
- burnte 2mo agoI completely agree.
- ErroneousBosh 2mo agoDo you think there's some element in published research that makes it automagically correct? Papers saying that lead in petrol was totally safe were "published research", as were the papers saying that replacing tetraethyl lead with benzine made it safer. Both of those turned out to be pretty majorly wrong, but they were "published research".
- m000 2mo agoThere's definitely nothing that makes a published paper automagically correct. But the papers you mention were probably shown to be wrong by further published research, not with blog posts. Trying to discount published research with a blog post is just intellectual laziness. Those loudmouths should put their research money where their mouths are.
