When I look on this forum now, much of what I see is bombastic and opinionated. There are some gems of wisdom in some replies, but it takes a lot of searching to find them in the general detritus.

That's actually great news. Reprap finally has been accepted as mainstream and now is just like every other user group out there! Almost every forum or online group I've ever visited has useful information, but you often need to weed through the opinionated and bombastic comments.

Richard Horton writes in that a recent symposium on the reproducibility and reliability of biomedical research discussed one of the most sensitive issues in science today: the idea that something has gone fundamentally wrong with science (PDF), one of our greatest human creations. The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. According to Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet, a United Kingdom-based medical journal, the apparent endemicity of bad research behavior is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world or retrofit hypotheses to fit their data.
