The note about Dweck, Mischel, Frederickson, and so on, is also strange because the main thing that unites these people is that they're highly eminent people. Are we to understand then once a person reaches a certain level of eminence, criticism is out of bounds?

he did also mention those other people to me in our conversation. "There has been an incredible number of attacks on all the classic studies" he said.
-
then what I asked him by what he meant by "attacks" that if these replication attempts are driven by malice? He kind of deflected. "No, many of the others are not motivated by malice."
-
so I'm not exactly sure what he was getting at by mentioning the other instances of reviewing past work.
-
I also recognize that each "replication crisis" story is different from one another. Like, what happened recently with the marshmallow test, i think, is a nice example of how more data can paint a conclusion in a new light (and that mischel et al weren't wrong perse).

And I know less about growth mindset. But there seems to be really interesting / rigorous efforts to dig into when the interventions work and why. What's happening with the prison experiment is a totally different type of story.
