This is a cheap response.
The so called replication "crisis" is multifaceted in cause, the biggest of which is complexity of the brain, and the inherent variability of the brain and behaviors of subjects from person to person, moment to moment. It is a difficult science, but the field is improving. Better methods, larger samples, converging evidence accross levels of description, etc etc, none of which are relevant, btw to my criticisms of Freud, the literary phenom non-scientist.
