We rely on science as presented by the media to inform us about everything from what we should eat to how our surroundings influence our behaviour. It is a pervasive cargo cult - no article is considered credible without vague cherry picked references. The whole pop-science/self-help book industry must be worth billions.

Yet we hear about p-hacking and replication crises and seem to adopt an attitude of sweeping inconveniences under the rug.

I don't know enough stats to fully understand the article. Can anyone explain why we should not consider the claims of a huge body of scientific work that have relied on these statistical methods for over 50 years to be invalid?
