Who replicates the replications?
Dina D. Pomeranz 🟣 @DinaPomeranz 2d
I'm a big fan of paper replications and serious scrutiny of research. But this only adds value if it's done with the same care and rigour that we expect of the papers being criticized.

We see a lot of such "replications" and criticism that doesn't withstand scrutiny. Data mining and p-hacking are just as wrong when done by replicators. And with the advent of AI this seems to be getting worse. How do we ensure high quality on replications?

To give you a sense of how badass Bob Hall is, he won a Nobel for his 2nd and 6th most cited papers.

Hall and Jones?
Hall and Jorgenson?

My forecast error for the Nobel Prize is lower when only one person wins. 😆
