So this is a science paper that encourages not trusting science papers, including the very same paper? So science is trustworthy. Carry on.

Reproducibility crisis. Science is a constant method, not a one and done type of thing. Biology evolves because of quantum physics, dna, and white holes/black holes altering reality. That means sometimes experiments will not be able to reproduced and sometimes they were straight up lies for the scientists numbers to go up like manipulating a stock.

Yeah black holes exist, that means white holes exist, white holes are mathematically proven to exist. But since black holes exist anyway you don't even need to prove white holes exist because of sacred geometry and as above so below geometry. Microcosm and macrocosm.

If you read the paper the estimates come from studies only looking for the types of problems detectable by someone without intimate knowledge of the field or specific research, for example shooped or reused images or data that's mathematically impossible. The actual amount of fraud is almost certainly much higher.

the whole point is that you need to look for consensus and reproducibility. You need to see your claim evidenced by multiple lines of evidence across contexts, funding sources, etc. People who pull out a single study trying to claim something are pseuds.

Atheists can't do science because atheists can't be honest. Atheism is a subset of communism, so its not ideology in general, its one particular ideology. Its not like this same pattern of events didn't all play out before in the USSR.

To be fair all of science is an endeavor to be less wrong over time. Consensus over even major stuff had flip flopped multiple times in the past. The only area I can think of that is yet to receive its "actually..." gotcha is thermodynamics.

you don't understand. It's not a blind consensus. Every single scientific paper is an argumentative work. You need to evaluate their methods and the data presented and decide if you agree or are convinced. If something is consistently evaluated properly, replicable, and observed across contexts, it becomes irrefutable due to the body of vetted evidence (that scientists are trained to evaluate). We don't even give heed to the "discussion" sections of the author's interpretation of their results; we focus on the raw results themselves. The outcomes of a single paper mean nothing to us; it only raises suspicion for further research to be done on the subject. The example of global warming hysterics is in the minority and riddled with poor quality evidence compared to the vast towering data supporting otherwise.

I just started reading this paper and I bet that the huge majority of falsified research is going to be of the statistical analysis type — because it’s easy for 3rd worlders to massage and fake data sets to get a desired result or just to outright plagiarize someone else’s results.
Anonymous at Sun, 17 Nov 2024 04:06:41 UTC No. 16478554
Super interesting little tidbit — there are some data forensics people who think the amount of faked work is MUCH higher than the median estimate. That’s interesting because in my experience people who confidently call outlier figures are the best, most dedicated to their field and don’t mind calling the high number where the field prefers to play it safe. Also going by the author’s methodology he’s probably under-shooting the actual rate of fakery — and I bet he thinks so too based on the fact he decided to include the highlighted snippet at all.
