The reproducibility crisis extends far beyond psychology. Psychologists are the messengers, just like they were with meta-analysis in the 60s and 70s.

Similar problems have been demonstrated in a host of fields, mostly the biomedical sciences. To take one prominent example, HN has been plastered with articles about COVID studies of dubious quality.

I agree.
