    How is this incorrect? In which field? And how do you confirm you the validity of your methodology?

      Replication rarely happens and in many cases is outright impossible due to lack of shared code.

      Things should be replicable, but that hasn’t been the case for a while.

        So then the failure of the scientific method is that people aren’t following it. That’s not so much a problem with the method.

          • It’s not that it can’t practically be followed, it is just that everyone running after H-index or whatever the hot thing is now has resulted in a drop in quality.

            It can easily be followed. Just not within capitalism.

            Edit: But you’re correct. And that’s what we’re seeing. A modified version.

        the correct term you need is ‘unachievable’, not ‘false’. […] anyway, it depends on the field and type of study.
