“Some fields may still face a crisis of trivial effects reflected in low rates of replicability at typical sample sizes. Increasing sample size may make these informal false positives replicable, but replication alone provides no guarantees that they are correct or useful.”

The replication crisis is often described as a crisis of false positives, but is it?
In our (re)new(ed) preprint, we show that false positives do not explain the replication crisis, and that varying rep. rates are often explained by replication sample size. #metascienceosf.io/preprints/so...
Would not the key to a wider more valid result in sampling be higher chance of best/better case results if the sample focused more on diversity of sample instead of size of sample.
