> scientific body rising up to demolish them for obviously bad work
Come on man, let's be fair: a couple of tweets and a few snarky emails hardly consist of the "scientific body demolishing them." I'm not sure if I agree with Bhattacharya's study, but it's hardly been universally repudiated. This just low-effort politicizing by Ars Technica (which has a spotty record to begin with).
Even this critical blog post[1] has all kinds of colorful discussion (mostly by academics) showing that things are simply not as cut-and-dry as we'd like them to be.
