HBD has been generally disregarded as bunk science. I have yet to see anything otherwise that isn't on some vaguely conspiratorial and mostly self-referential blog somewhere.

There are peer reviewed papers you know, with replication and everything. It's regarded as bunk science by the exact same kinds of people who say climate change science is bunk science: people who don't read the science papers.
