    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.

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