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.
If a method can’t practically be followed it’s a sign of a bad method, or at least one that needs modification.
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.
That’s just wordplay to make the problem seem like it’s not as big of a problem.
Common standards for language formally used in a specific field/profession/discipline aren’t “wordplay” lol
This isn’t a professional forum. Playing the “it’s a technical term” game is absolutely wordplay.
