Where is the 50% number? Or are you linking to a random paper? (i.e. not the source for the claim)

[nradov]

Did you even read the paper? "Most" is >50%.

[passivate]

Nope. You don't invent numbers like that. A claim that includes a specific number needs an actual citation which includes the number.

"Most Research Findings Are False for Most Research Designs and for Most Fields" is a ridiculous claim. I don't know a single scientist who believes that. How many scientists have you spoken to in the bio field?

Do you have a substantiave criticism of the paper that I linked?
