This comic was discussed by the author on Andrew Gelnan's blog. Gelman hated it and posted his opinion. Hyde pretty much agreed, iirc.

Reminds me of the time when the OPERA experiment claimed to have seen superluminal neutrinos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light_neutrino_ano...

Everyone not in the collaboration basically said "I bet you didn't measure superluminal neutrinos".
