Here is the link to the source, much friendlier to HN folk that rather read than watch: http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21588057-scientists-t...

EDIT: To add on to this, the source to the video does make an interesting observation about statistical methods being employed by scientists who doesn't know their pitfalls.

Other thing I take from a more careful reading (as opposed to viewing a two minute highly superficial video) is that the article makes the assumption that all hypothesis will be subject to only one study, if we have three studies denying a certain hypothesis and one confirming it it's pretty easy to catch the false positive on a literature review article (routinely done by people entering academia)
