&gt;&quot;If you&#x27;re right and CRISPR doesn&#x27;t actually work, then none of the papers published so far are replicable and you&#x27;ll be vindicated in mere months.&quot;<p>Not at all. I&#x27;m not sure you understand what I am saying.<p>It appears to me the data can be interpreted in multiple ways. Two different &quot;theories&quot; can explain the same results. This is a much more insidious problem than mere non-replication (I haven&#x27;t seen any direct replications regarding CRISPR either though). People can continue on the wrong path for a long time by interpreting good, reliable data incorrectly.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Experimentum_crucis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Experimentum_crucis</a>
