This one is key. Research funding tends to only focus on new ideas. The 20% funding for replication is a good number. Just like Nostr was coded over and over again in multiple clients, research findings need to be duplicated over and over again. Only after a replication, hopefully by people that have an interest to refute the findings, science is found. It's not sexy though. It feels like wasted time. Research journals don't want to publish duplicated studies as well. The whole field is tainted by one-and-done science.
