When it comes to human behavior, “studies show” are becoming “the two most dangerous words in the English language today.”

According to Andy Kessler, writing in the WSJ …
Many of the cited studies on human behavior are pure bunk.
For example:
The 270 researchers working under the auspices of the Center for Open Science spent four years trying to reproduce 100 leading psychology experiments.
They successfully replicated only 39 of the 100 psychology experiments.
A survey of 1,576 scientists published in Nature reported that “more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments … and more than half are unable to reproduce their own experiments.”
