It takes more than a single study for something to become ‘science’. Especially in the social sciences, where replication is a real problem.

I’m strongly in agreement with the goal and the sentiment of the project, but not with its execution. We need a lot more epistemic humility and contextualization for this to not just seem like just another political project.

Yeah, if they'd read and critiqued at least some of the papers, we would all be more informed rather than outraged.
Right, and compared the stats with other harms etc.
