  1. If I were to say that the primary benefit of randomization (and possibly blinding) is that it makes simple statistical models match the true data generating process quite well, would that be a provocative statement? Or would that be obvious? Is there a good reference for this line of reasoning?

  6. Critical Metascience:

    2022 has been a bumper year for what I’d call “critical metascience” - work that takes a step back and offers a critical perspective in the field.

  11. Can we kill theories?

    Social psychology consists of “a vast graveyard of undead theories” (Ferguson & Heene, 2012).

  16. How interested are scientists in the truth?

    Mizrahi (2021) analysed the text of scientific papers and found that “scientists use the terms ‘knowledge’ and ‘understanding’ significantly more often than the term ‘truth’ when they talk about the aims or goals of scientific research in their published works."

  31. What’s a hypothesis?

    “A hypothesis is not simply a guess about the result of an experiment. It is a proposed explanation that can predict the outcome of an experiment. A hypothesis has two components: (1) an explanation and (2) a prediction. A prediction simply isn’t useful on its own.” (Haroz, 2014)

  36. A “quietist” response to the replication crisis:

    “The quietist approach proposes that we should just accept that it is in the nature of science that we get things wrong, and that this is particularly true with sciences in early stages of development.”

    Brilliant new PhD thesis by Pekka Syrjänen considers “the epistemic role of prediction in science,” provides a clear, easy-to-follow discussion of the issues in this area, and develops a new “predictive virtues approach.”
