Presenting things that are not peer reviewed is generally considered bad science, is it not?<p>This kind of &quot;science&quot; happens here on HN every day and nobody bats an eye.<p>&quot;We used XYZ framework and it&#x27;s the best thing ever!&quot;<p>Then tons of people use XYZ framework.<p>Blog posts.<p>Videos.<p>Fad happens.<p>Fad is over because &quot;Why I&#x27;m switching to ABC framework.&quot;<p>With tons of benchmarks of course.<p>My point is that this happens all over the place. Someone makes a &quot;discovery&quot;, markets the hell out of it with great speeches, bravado, etc. It gets coverage. It &quot;grows legs&quot; if you will. People repeat it and spread it.<p>The &quot;science&quot; part I was referring to was the part where someone else attempts and fails to repeat the initial findings.
