The damage has already long since been done. It's great that people are starting to realize the mistake, but it's going to take a lot more work than just saying “stop hyping single studies” in this comments thread to radically alter the status quo.
I once knew a guy who ended his friendship of many years with me over an argument about “safe drug use sites”, or whatever they're called—those places where drug addicts can go to “safely” do drugs with medical staff nearby in case they inadvertently overdose. Dude was of the belief that these initiatives were unequivocally good, and that any common-sense thinking along the lines of, “hey, isn't that only going to encourage further self-destructive behavior in vulnerable members of the populace?” could be countered by pointing to a handful of studies that supposedly showed that these “safe shoot-up sites” had been Proven To Be Unequivocally Good, Actually.
I took a look at one of these published academic research “studies”—said research was conducted by finding local drug dealers and asking them, before and after a “safe shoot-up site” was constructed, how their business was doing. The answer they got was, “more or less the same”—so the paper concluded (by means of a rather remarkable extrapolation, if I do say so myself) that these “safe shoot-up sites” were Provably Objectively Good For Society.
After pointing this out to my friend of many years, he informed me that I had apparently become some flavor of far-right Nazi or whatever, and blocked me on all social media platforms, never speaking to me again.
You're not going to get people like him to see reason by just saying “stop hyping single studies” and calling it a day. Our entire culture revolves around placing a rather unreasonable amount of completely blind faith in the veracity of published academic research findings.
