Is this part of the same body of research suffering a replication crisis more broadly?

It is?

Oh. So, having lots of published “research” that can be linked to by consultants paid to believe it isn’t the same thing as replicable hard science?

Nope. Whodathunkit.

Considering all of science is having a replication crisis, you are going full flat earther, then.

I really cannot overemphasize how detrimental to your argument what you just wrote is to any thinking human being. Blindly claiming all research, from literally every institution in the world, is both inaccurate and rigged somehow on a widely studied topic, is an insane claim only made when you've given up on the entire concept of rationality.

You really would rather throw all of science under the bus before you let black people get an even footing in society, wouldn't you? Incredible.

STEM fields don’t have a replication crisis in the same way that humanities do.

The issue in STEM fields is that essential elements to replicate (like the code) are not being published, yet the underlying science is solid enough for production technology people rely on every day to be built on it.

In the humanities the replication crisis is that a significant amount of published “research” is essentially made up whole cloth.

One of these things is not like the other.

Also, nice edit calling me racist with zero basis. This behavior, by the way, is why this /entire/ thread exists on HN. DEI zealots will libel, slander, and insult anyone who doesn’t follow their ideology. Criticizing it, even with clear evidence, or pointing out lack of evidence supporting it is treated the same as taking the most extreme position in opposition.

You’re ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself. Take a breath and reconsider your life choices.
