Pizzagate and Kahneman, two great flavors etc. (2017) (columbia.edu)
3 points by Tomte 9 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


Two long-running stories about plagiary/research fraud/p-hacking.

1. Really the term 'pizzagate' has been overrun by other more mainstream things. This is the Brian Wansink p-hacking scandal. ("When it comes to stats, this guy makes Satoshi Kanazawa look like Uri Simonsohn. That explains why his response to questions about p-hacking or harking was, “Well, we weren’t testing a registered hypothesis, so there’d be no way for us to try to massage the data to meet it.”")

2. Kahneman on the discredited field of priming research (small samples, large effect sizes, hard to disprove an anecdote of an experiment was never run or falsified.)
