If you don't believe this, look at the miniscule details Collins paper on the Q of sapphire. Or write out a list of all the possible noise sources in your power supply that might muck up an experiment. (I'll be waiting when your list passes 100 items.)
The "failure to replicate = bad" narrative is tempting. But it's a dramatic misunderstanding & oversimplification of how science works. I wish people had better mental models, to understand that failure to replicate is often instead merely a step along the way to understanding.
Failure to replicate is valuable because it teaches that there is an uncontrolled variable that is affecting the outcome. Identification of this uncontrolled variable using the scientific method is how knowledge and understanding is advanced.
I’m biological sciences “failure to replicate” to me (an outsider) seems a clear argument against the experiment. In physics the most I’ve seen is “we didn’t observe this effect”.
True, but in too many instances flawed experimental design & analysis, confirmation bias, pressure to publish (esp. ‘novel’ results), please peers (especially powerful senior ones), and requirements for professional advancement are major contributors to lack of replicability.
What's the difference between the BEC and the unreplicable priming studies where the original author said effectively "you didn't do it right"? In the former it feels right to put burden of proof on the replicator, the former it feels right to put it on the OA.
Thank you. Balls thread.
In a factor analysis, the first three factors are quick and cheap. The 200th factor is expensive and minute in the quantity of variation for which it accounts. That factor is a long way down the tail. Do we communicate the whole tail?
True but if multiple teams fail to replicate or, worse, if the original paper authors fail to properly replicate then we have real issues with the original result. This is far more acute a problem in the non hard sciences, e.g. humanities hence current replication crisis
is that because there were over actually 1000 steps to replicate but because they are bundle into macro steps eg: power supply = 1 step ( but really its 100 ) but its written as 1 because most of the time power supplies work as they should
