Replicable:different people find same thing from repeated experiment Naturallythe replicability is ignored. Why? Becausehuman nervous systems are designed to respond to rapid changes. No need tofixating on fast changes. But forslowly growing problems, fixation is very useful. In sciencepublication filed, h-index is used to show the number of cited one scientist’spaper.
