...you're responding to a point I didn't make. That comment is about the fallacy of psychology "testing everything on undergrads."

Please read what you respond to.

I apologize if I misrepresented your point. I went back and re-read your comment again, and I guess I'm still confused. It looks like you pivot in the middle of your comment with the statement: These discussions about replication always sadden me...

What did you mean by you can come up with reasons not to believe anything regarding testing on undergrads? That sounds to me like a broader complaint about replication generally.

How is it that discussions about replication "miss the point"? I thought the point was that replication is fundamental to science, so it seems like these discussions are usually spot on.
