And you have a point about denying the negative results phil. It would emphasize/amplify the effect quite a bit. How do you know they're only publishing positive results? Was there a fault in the methodology of the experiment to allow for that? How do you know the results are unrepeatable? If you have, IDK, 20 or so studies, all with valid and different methodology coming to the same conclusion is that enough to get past reliability and confirmation bias? What number would be sufficient?
