Laudate_Dominum Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Papist' timestamp='1326857079' post='2370861'] Yes. It is pertinent. Stapel is an example of a 'researcher' that produced reports to people who wanted the outcome of his 'research'. He was peer reviewed for years and was well published. It took students to call him out. The article has similarities of Stapel. That is, the desired outcome is believed before 'research' and data is collected. People should not blindly believe researcher's outcome just b/c they have letters after their name. [/quote] Okay, some humans are liars and some scientists svck at their job, no problem there. But that's not actually evidence that there is something fraudulent or erroneous about the research in question; it's just an insinuation without value. Claiming that the researchers had a guess as to the outcome of the research before carrying it out does not establish Stapel-style misconduct. Where is the evidence commensurate with your accusation? P.S. Could you actually share the exact study or studies that you have in mind here? Just so there is no confusion. Thanks. ETA: P.P.S. I've only read the yahoo page and will confess that my bias is against that article which struck me as pretty ridiculous. I'm only taking issue with the Stapel insinuation right now.

Freud has nothing on your ability to analyze the underlying motives of others whom you have never met based on a single innocuous one liner which happens to be brought up everytime there is a discussion on statistics.@@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
