I do agree with you, and that's not something I grokked from the original article. This is a major discussion now in some fields, and there is a small movement to publish experiments that showed no effects. It should be a bigger movement for at least two reasons: - this will make meta-analyses stronger - in the field I'm closest to, some scientists don't know their statistics well enough to detect an effect even if it's there. Publishing it will give someone else a chance to make something out of that data.
