  @rbowen@mastodon.social I'm pretty skeptical of the original claim. Maybe it's been rigorously reproduced and I just didn't get the memo. But it seems like such a delightfully counter-intuitive yet easy-to-explain thing that the temptation for people to think they've established it -- by selectively reporting results and through selective experimentation in the first place, whether these are done consciously or unconsciously -- is very high. We should always be suspicious of results that have this property.
