> Think about the replication crisis as actually a generalization crisis. The study said what it said for the exact parameters given. The question is what were all the parameters and which ones are the final result actually sensitive to?

If you can't control parameters so that the results you are claiming are reproducible you are just publishing noise ?

How would you know if parameters are controlled until other people try the same thing with other parameters?

Should a journal paper never be published until the field has established all the fundamental properties? How could it discover those fundamental properties without the publications?
