      Our hoaxes provided good evidence of a problem. Our gained expertise in the field provided reason to believe it's a special problem. @HPluckrose

      It is certainly a specific problem. It could in principle turn up in any field which included critical theory approaches with roots in postmodernism but it's tautological to explain we can't find evidence of the problem of theory in journals which don't include theory.

      I just don't know what is wanted. How a control can operate in this context. How would someone who wanted to test a concern that bad science was being published in nutrition proceed except by looking at journals which publish on nutrition?

      You would have operationalize a certain kind of badness that exists at a level that could apply to both fields, embed that badness in papers in a systematic way, send the papers to journals matched for impact (or some such), and see which sample fared worse. But short of that

      ... since, indeed, it WOULD be very hard to design a convincing experiment to test your very bold claims in a robust way, it seems to me the second best option would have been to characterize what your hoax "showed" in much more qualified and humble terms.

          More qualified and humble? We literally said we'd spent a year exploring a stystem and presented what we did and asked people to make their own minds up about whether it indicated a problem. You have created claims that haven't been made. This is what we claimed:pic.twitter.com/Pg2CZfJjiW

          The first para of ur write up says, "especially in certain fields" ... "strong evidence has been lacking" ... "that is why we ..." I took this framing to suggest that you yourselves had provided strong evidence of the "especially" claim. If not, the framing seems misleading.pic.twitter.com/2TgEHr7CzW

          We are talking about a special something that has gone wrong. We say what it is in the next sentence and then explain in much more detail further down. I still don't know what you want. For us to have sent our papers to science departments & been told out of scope or not?

          Helen I feel we are somehow talking past each other. I'm sorry about that. Unfortunately I can't be on twitter any more today. I hope you'll reach out if you're interested and we can have a friendly conversation in real-time over Skype?

          I don't know how to be any clearer, Brian. I think if you accept that we were saying "There is a problem in radical constructivist approaches to the humanities and we spent a year inside it. This is what we did. Decide for yourself if its a problem" and nothing else, we're good

          Brian, there is bad stuff in psychology and medicine, no doubt - and significant problems. But what the triumvirate of Helen, Peter, & James have shown is that you can manage to get positively insane papers published in Grievance Studies. You're overthinking this. No offense.

          Yes and we would support anyone with knowledge in those fields addressing it. We ourselves are not qualified to do so and thus don't make any claims about them.
