Nassim Taleb über falsche Ressourcenallokation in der Wissenschaft

„The tragedy is that it is very hard to get funding to replicate – and reject – existing studies. And even if there were money for it, it would be hard to find takers: trying to replicate studies will not make anyone a hero. So we are crippled with a distrust of empirical results, except for those that are negative.“

– Taleb, Nassim, Things That Gain from Disorder, New York 2012, S. 418.
