Hey nerds, how do you calibrate mentally with respect to what you might call papers with high "filedrawer effect susceptibility?" Meaning... suppose a paper comes out that seems reasonably well done, but also confirms deep social/political biases in academia, and for which a negative or countervailing finding would be difficult to publish. What's the appropriate intellectual response?
