      Women who wore an obese body suit, which creates the psychosocial experience of feeling overweight, consumed more snack foods. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666317313041 …pic.twitter.com/tGQVSJxwLo

      The p values for women eating more when wearing a body suit in the two experiments were .029 and .046 (or 0.032). Except for ridiculing them, there's no reason to give attention to these silly studies, Rolf.

      Wouldn't these points make more sense to the peer reviewers and the editors of the academic journal that published that stuff in the first place?

      If my points, or the replication crisis in general, made sense to them, they wouldn't publish this stuff.

      OK, then thanks for pointing out. I feel a bit hard pressed to do the job of those who are supposed to do the job for me.

          I'm confused as to what you think your job is. Surely this kind of basic quality checking falls under the purview of a science writer?

          I am processing and posting incredible amounts of research on a daily basis. I do critically consult the methods department. But I can't puzzle over every statistic, the job of high impact peer review journals. But I applaud critical comments, that is post peer review.

          Perhaps in some distant future every academic paper will have assigned an official Advocatus Diaboli to publicly make the case against it's canonization. (Sort of like BBS is with open peer commentary.) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioral-and-brain-sciences … .. #AdvocatusDiaboli

          There should be people paid to do post-publication peer review, like what @sTeamTraen and @jamesheathers are doing now except as a full-time job.

          I get that, but there's really no alternative if you want to contribute to informed public debate. Publicizing these low-grade studies serves the opposite goal.

          Writing as a fan: I think you could devise a set of simple scanning rules that would account for @pnin1957's critique here, and doing so would both increase your accuracy and prestige, since the rules would produce content to write about re how studies went wrong.
