Along similar lines, I've wondered whether an enterprising scientist could glamorize the search for null results by deliberately targeting previously published papers. So you don't just formulate random hypotheses, test them, and then report the null hypothesis. Instead, you pick out an influential paper and debunk it experimentally. I presume you'd consider suspiciousness when choosing your targets. E.g. a p-value just under 0.05 would be one signal you'd consider. If journals like dramatic submissions, perhaps mythbuting previous papers would provide the requisite drama. Scientists out there, how do you think that would go over with journals?
