You know the replication crisis is a real thing, right?

What do you mean by "real thing"? The comment to which you responded makes clear I know about the issues in detail, so I'm clearly aware of it.
If you mean that yours and/or layer8's perspectives are a 'real thing', you don't have a privileged claim on reality, of course (and neither do I).
> the results of the first study don’t match my recollection and experience at all.
30 years ago you had some anecdotal impressions. 30 years ago the researchers had a hypothesis, focused on this exact question, designed an experiment, and collected evidence. (And many since have found it valid.) 30 years later, we have a detailed written report of their experience, and your 30-year old memory as posted on HN.
It's just too easy to say, 'that's not my experience' without evidence. Everything is 'debunked' on that basis. Now we have 30 year old memories too.
