Re: Are most scientific studies screwed up?
As I stated in my post, soft sciences often has to make less bombastic statements, so I fail to see the point of your quoted article, as I was obviously well aware of the point it makes - statistical methodology in psychology is one of my study fields. Reading a post is often vital before criticising it. So I am in no way 'out to lunch'.
The important thing is that the papers are aware of this limitation, which they largely are. That popular references to them often is not (in media etc, or by amateurs on discussion boards) is a problem, but hardly blamable of the researches.
