Isn't that just bad science though?

People shouldn't be trying to publish before they know how to properly define a study and analyze the results. Publications also shouldn't be willing to publish work that does a poor job at following the fundamentals of the scientific method.

Wishful thinking and assuming good intent isn't a bad idea here, but that leaves us with a scientific (or academic) industry that is completely inept at doing what it is meant to do - science.



Ye but narrower and pushed by publishing pressure I think.
