The fact that the "negative" results don't get published is the worst part. Failing to replicate a strong effect should be a result in and of itself! Failing to find support for a plausible theory is also a result. The fact that this kind of publication bias still exists doesn't make any sense to me. And it seems to be one of the primary ills of scientific publishing and academia.
