Almost all science outside physics is politically and/or economically false statistical manipulation. If science once had any honor it has none now. Some people might also be under the impression that psychiatry is like neuroscience rather than sociology but that is not the case.
The general public sheeple will still go on thinking psychiatry is a science. Humanity is to be looked down upon and pitied :
Nonreplicable publications are cited more than replicable ones
Abstract
We use publicly available data to show that published papers in top psychology, economics, and general interest journals that fail to replicate are cited more than those that replicate. This difference in citation does not change after the publication of the failure to replicate. Only 12% of postreplication citations of nonreplicable findings acknowledge the replication failure. Existing evidence also shows that experts predict well which papers will be replicated. Given this prediction, why are nonreplicable papers accepted for publication in the first place? A possible answer is that the review team faces a trade-off. When the results are more “interesting,” they apply lower standards regarding their reproducibility.

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
John P. A. Ioannidis
Summary
There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.

psychology/psychiatry working in tandem or synergistically has killed , tortured, oppressed, disabled and poisoned millions of human beings based on pseudo-science but , hey, most humans do not care because humans are scumbags.
