We agreed with him back then, so we took it as "his style", "a means to produce punchy headlines". We may do research on bias, but that doesn't leave us free of bias...

I think my first major questioning of Ioannidis' whole premise and MO came around eight years ago, when I got a very strong "brave maverick" vibe from his critique of
@NIH funding and of study section scientists as being, in essence, unimaginative drones.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-nih-funding-process-conformity-and-mediocrity/ … - Show replies

Speaking for myself, the big “everything is wrong” paper fed my own confirmation bias. As Doug Altman pointed out there are substantial problems in medical research, so the Ioannidis paper “felt” right.
