I would argue the whole framing of the "replication crisis" is another example of the problem with "overselling" research results. Yes there is a problem with some research in some areas of science not being replicatable. However, the vast majority of research in many fields does not have this problem. Framing this as a "crisis" overstates the problem and gives the impression that the majority of research can't be replicated.
