I knew immediately this was BS, sure enough, someone already beat me to it with the comment explaining why.

Man, I'm so ashamed of my field (experimental psychology). Maybe ~60% of publications are literally worse than useless (that is, they are outright intentional lies).

The damage done will take decades to fix if it can be fixed. No idea why anyone would even bother engaging with (experimental psychology)

		If you have a Ph.D. you can somewhat sort the wheat from the chaff. But it's 100% not worth it for the layman. Better to just ignore it. That's why, even though it's incredibly sad to see, I can hardly begrudge the current administration their "defund anything and everything using keyword search". Since they can't trust the experts, that's really about the best that can be done from their perspective.
