Agreed. There was a study that was published assigning some traits to conservatives and others to liberals. Then someone found a math error. They had actually flipped which trait was associated with which group. Pretty egregious. At a minimum, it underscores the need for plenty of reproduction, especially in complex fields like psychology and sociology.
