Thanks, my thoughts exactly. Coming from a machine learning background, I am often shocked at the quality of experiments in psychology and even economics. I think the reason may be because in machine learning, you describe your algorithm and experiment exactly. If someone can use the same algorithm and devise an experiment to disprove your results, you look like a fool. With softer sciences, maybe people just say, "then you obviously didn't do it right!" and there is no code to point at. I like to think that in medicine they know how to do things properly, since there is so much regulation and money on the line.
