What is your take on the whole thing, do you believe in original still? what are diffs?
I saw there was quite a bit of removing 'bad' data.
Did you try to analyze the data yourself, like purposely p-hack it to see if you could have tricked yourself?
I am working on a post about my take as we speak, which I will finish next week and post here!
But no I didn’t try to analyze it myself, and yes we removed a lot of data but all based on pre-set exclusions. But prob we didn’t anticipate the numbers we would end up needing to exclude?
in general i like Michael's work but i did not have time to read this yet.
piloting is going to become important for replications in a few years
Is your conclusion the original false? the alternative is that people do not prefer?
