This points to the real problem and also where the responsibility and interest ought to be to fix it.

There’s no replication crisis for academics because they have a meatspace social network of academics; they go to conferences together and know each other. You can just ignore a paper if you know the author is an idiot.

If medical studies are faked, is it a problem? Presumable regulatory agencies are using these studies or something, right? Looks like the FDA and NSF need to fund some more replication studies.
