It turns out science requires really careful thinking ... who would have thought?
I think that funding and publishing pressure turns the already hard problem of doing good science into a Pareto optimisation between do science, publish, get funding. The result is partially coerced results, stronger than justified conclusions, lenient interpretations , and funding of course.
It’ll go this way whatever the metric. I see the same sort of crap in ML papers where the authors report far more and lie far more at the same time.
