In any event, there really are serious problems in psychology as a subject as a whole, and the JPSP is not an isolated case.
This is what I’ve been thinking quite often during Carl’s mini-series—beating up on people who believe in magical powers, or on a specific journal, is of course quite easy, but I’m worried that people won’t catch the more general and significantly more important point—e.g., that all those heuristics and biases results that are cited around here, might not be so trustworthy.
(ETA: Also, strange you wrote almost exactly the same comment I would have; I don’t think we normally have similar intuitions &c.)
