Peer reviewed studies disagree and dismiss each other all the time. Peer reviewed studies are often "propaganda". Peer review guarantees certain minimal bar and that your general structure is sane. Reproducibility and actual results are not necessary validated.

The larger scientific discussion where study is confirmed is after peer review.

On HN, they are specifically disagreed with super often. Especially anything "softer" It is not like it was taboo.

It's sad that science denial is now the norm even on Hacker News.

First, nothing changed, HN people were always treating studies that way.

And second, it is not scientific behavior to treat a single study as gospel. It is scientific when consensus emerges from many different studies and when those are reproduced and verified.

Pearl clutching over "peer-review" mostly suggests people don't know what peer review can or can not do.

This specific study contradicts other studies before that came to a different conclusion. It's kind of a hen-egg problem, in which I firmly believe this study got it wrong.

No "science denial". Questioning of this specific study and disregarding your appeals for authority.
