The irony is that Kahneman has spent a lot of time both raising awareness of the replication crisis and studying the kind of cognitive biases people often have, yet got bit by exactly that.
In his defense, his comment here is, I think, a master study in what a detailed, sincere "I was wrong" should look like.
