To address your final sentence first, I don't think anyone here has tried to argue against the importance of replication. And yes, I'm familiar with the JIR. I was introduced to it about 35 years ago by my high school's astronomy teacher, Mr. Norm Sperling, now the editor and publisher. I wouldn't take any major actions based on a single study, other than trying to replicate or counter it, but that doesn't mean it has "no meaning". You have legitimate criticisms of the study, but you wrap them in overly-broad generalizations about what is and isn't science. You remind me of an old friend who had such a strict definition of "science" that he claimed that in 4 years as an undergraduate at Caltech, he'd only met one "scientist". So is Prof. Kahneman a scientist?
