Most novel findings don't replicate, so a researcher at Yale can gain plenty of prestige by debunking the sensationalized findings from Harvard, for instance.
This is very context dependent so such a broad generalization probably goes too far. It seems like the “soft” sciences have a much bigger replication crises.
But that point aside, your Yale vs. Harvard example doesn’t fix the funding issue I alluded to.
