No mention of the replication crisis in the article, particularly in the social sciences, which might have something to do with a crisis of confidence, particularly when it's one study that seems to support a controversial political view, or a generalized principle of human behavior. The Marshmallow Test or the Stanford Prison Experiment being two such examples. Which may have something to do with sensational-sounding single studies being widely popularized, which need to be balanced against other similar studies.

Or how fat was touted as the primary dietary culprit instead of sugar because the sugar industry paid off scientists.
