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.
This may be unreasonable in our media environment, but if you need more time to be sure a paper you want to report on is decent, then you need to take that time - post less, but post higher quality. It's your responsibility, not just that of journals.
Absolutely not. If I find interesting or provoking stuff, I bring it up here to the expert community, who often give sound and critical comments. Nobody ALONE can completely appreciate soundness and this has already led to some very important discoveries.

Right now, people are scrutinizing the obesity suit study, and I like that a lot. Could not have done it myself.https://twitter.com/jamesheathers/status/1004330301626208256 …
