    Well, they CAN, but then someone will notice it was wrong the first time.

    “It’s too complicated, we can’t replicate the moon landing. We, uh, lost the formula. Yes.”

    If you can act like you know what you’re talking about, you can get away with gibberish for quite a while – especially if you have selfish biased gibberish promoters and networks to back you up.

    Yes, unfotunately, the studies on reproducibility are replicated.

    Brewster seems to be experiencing room temperature con-fusion.

    There’s no reproducibility crises. It is the long established scientific method for screening out what is likely correct from what is likely a chance occurrence. It’s only a crisis on an individual basis when your life’s work leads to your glorious moment of triumph and then you find you can’t do it again.

    Reproducibility? I learned about that when I was a kid. When a mommy & daddy love each other VERY much… What? Not that kind of reproducibility? Oh – (in the voice of Emily Litella) “never mind.”

    (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, or nonsense (garbage) input data produces nonsense output. However it can all be explained away by chaos theory ( this is important if your grant is on the line). Your research will be peer reviewed, accepted and become scientific dogma. Even if it is all just gibberish. This is the new scientific method.

    There is a growing wave of support for science journals that require ALL necessary data for reproduction of the experiments be made public before publication of related articles.

    Speaking of reproducibility, let’s hope that Brewster can’t replicate it either.

    Too many researchers are more concerned about being published than being confident.

    Decades ago, there was a TV episode about science research. In discussing reproducibility, they said a big problem is few researchers were interested in attempting to reproduce results of others. It seems to be less interesting work. If the results were replicated, it wouldn’t be newsworthy. And those who decided which research projects should be funded tended to agree.

    Brewster cut to the heart of the matter.

    Could publish it in the Journal of Irreproducible Results (yes, that’s a real magazine – humor for scientists).
