In this article, the author calls studies “bunk.” He is arguing that most studies that are shown today are not reliable. He notes in the article that “studies show whatever someone wants them to.” He also uses Malcolm Goodwell and his book “Outlier” as an example .Gladwell argues how everyone is born the same and no one is born better than anyone else.
I feel for the paradigm shift it is important to stay away from bunked research. Is it really representing the whole population? Also some studies are biased or use specific people for studies so it is very easy to get a bunked study. It is also very concerning that most of the experimenters were unable to repeat their own experiment, or even someone else’s experiment. Once again, there are a lot of studies out there, but this shows that very few are reliable and can be repeated. For research for a paradigm shift, the research that you are presenting, especially to show the shift, has to be very reliable and valid.
