Peer reviewed study published in Science Journal turns out to be fraud.

RE: Peer reviewed study published in Science Journal turns out to be fraud.
Uh, yeah. Science is not one big organisation. It's a method. Some people will abuse the method and fraudulently publish results. It happens. And when it does, they get found out. This is because anything scientific must make meaningful claims that can be tested. So you just test them.

It's totally wrong for people to abuse the scientific method and publish nonsense under the pretence of peer review. Of course. But that's not a problem with science, it's a problem with people. The idea that we should just scrap everything is ludicrous. Science works, that's what makes it science. The thing you're typing on: science. Stuff like that doesn't just magically work with no basis.
