      A little mini-thread about the grievance studies hoax, responding to concerns from @ConceptualJames that the emphasis of my initial set of responses may have been in someway misplacedhttps://twitter.com/briandavidearp/status/1056611677251272706 …

      I took the thrust of your characterization of what you were showing in your hoax to be that there was a special rot in the fields you focused on. To support the claim of a special problem in field X, it is not enough show that, in field X, a small sample of journals of unknown ..

      Are you insisting that it's fairly easy for amateurs to get reputable medical journals to publish research that started with a preferred conclusion?

      I know that Hypatia is generally well-regarded; I don't know about the others, so I don't have a basis for comparing degree of reputability. But, my goodness, yes, I see shoddy research published by authors with a preferred conclusion published in medicine *all the time*. As for

      ... as 4 Hypatia, however, I take it 1 of co-authors is professional philosopher, so that wouldn't be an amateur. For other journals, if they had novel quantitative methods you had to first learn (to the level of a typical NHST user), might've taken u a bit longer, but not much

      You could reply with dozens of examples. I could send you thousands of grievance studies papers. Most of the canon, in fact. As you said, one really only needs to read the papers that are there to see the problem exists.

      Just remember: Every time you launch this defense, you're putting rigorous journals in fields with functioning epistemologies on par with whatever is happening in feminist geography that honored us for insisting that dog-humping tells us about rape culture and how to fix it.

      No, I'm not, because I am not making generalizable claims based on anecdotal hoax data. In psychology & medicine there is a lot of epistemological rot, it is very deep, & it is often harder to see because it's dressed up in mindless statistical rituals so it looks more sciency

          I'm not sure I follow what you mean by this. Is this an implied of argument of some kind? It's been really difficult for me to track the thread of what you are saying in some of these exchanges or what kind of response you are looking for, other than perhaps to be provocative

          I commend you for being deeply concerned about those problems, and I hope you can successfully help address them. I don't think you're really weighing the thing honestly here, though. Do you?
