No, it proves that someone with an agenda can select their sample and design their research to reach the conclusion that they are looking for. Unfortunately, scientists can do the same thing. The problem is not with the nature of the science but the bias and lack of integrity of the scientist.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the point GATOR NAVY was trying to make was that, in a respectable discipline, one would hope that such a fraud would be identified and summarily disregarded, rather than enshrined as is the case here.

It seemed to me that he was dismissing ALL of psychology with his statement, but you could be right. The article said that the study itself has been discredited, but the effect of the study still persists. Just like the evidence AGAINST global warming, the message never seems to make it into the MSM.
