One person I'd like to see uncanceled is Amy Cuddy. I think there's a there there with power posing that can be teased out with more subtle experimental design. We've overcorrected on reproducibility crisis and forgotten that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

absence of evidence is evidence of absence, though

Yeah, this is a narrow bayesian argument that simply does not apply outside conditions that are sort of ergodic in the behavior space. The general principle is more broadly applicable. You need to establish exhaustiveness of coverage to claim otherwise.

Let me get this straight: now the replication crisis is in a replication crisis?

Agreed, even as I find Cuddy herself kind of unbearable.

Confident declarations and self-promotion in the absence of replicable evidence is discrediting. If there's a there there with power posing Cuddy can't be trusted to find it in a reliable sense.
Just as not everything Wansink worked on is bogus but his work can never be trusted.
