You must frame what he says in a Popperian view of conjecture and falsification. Some people, like David Deutsch, fight against the Bayesian view of science
True, if you completely ignore Bayesian reasoning and the fallibility of experiments, as revealed in the replication crisis.https://twitter.com/ProfFeynman/status/929366516637634560 …

I'm more of a Lakatosian than a Popperian, I guess.

I take Feynman's aphorism to be somewhat elliptical. If your theory disagrees with reality, it's wrong. And our best window to reality is a well-designed experiment. That allows room for the fact that our experiments are often not well-designed. I doubt Feynman was anti-Bayesian.

The replication crises exposes not the fallibility of experiments, but of the human beings who cheat while running them.

Replication crisis has nothing to do with the scientific method, but it does have something to do with the scientists need for money/jobs.

I don’t believe Prof Feynman had psychology in mind when he wrote this.

Doubt he’d even consider psychology a science.
