It would be nice if people didn't share neoreactionary/dark enlightenment blogs on my timeline, but apparently if they write about science they can get under people's radar undetected. Alt right ideologues slowly inserting themselves into scientific discussions is *ehem* cringe.

Also the double irony is the specific blogger's post being passed around this time makes little to no mention of those who ring alarm bells about such scientific issues — which not only is kind of disingenuous (obfuscates history of criticism) but counter to doing good science.

Listen and learn from theoreticians when they say a finding, no matter how much data, doesn't make sense. When somebody says "these data are irrelevant, the problem is that we don't understand what we are looking at" AND PROPOSES A DIFFERENT MODEL, they can't be easily ignored.

Because the geocentric model also had data supporting it was very replicable. Listen to theoreticians. That is the actual story here. That blog post de-empahsises the fact that shifts in understanding are the impetus, at least in part, to methodological changes.

And in the specific case being discussed I see no mention of those who have been questioning the findings in that whole literature for years. No mention of the word "theory" in the blog post!

If you are comfortable revealing what you're referring to, I'd like to look. Or if you don't want to further publicize, via DM?
