Fake, mistake, replicate: A court of law may determine the meaning of replication in science
Article Abstract:
A defamation lawsuit filed by economist John R. Lott, Jr. against Steven D. Levitt over the interpretation of the term replicate in Levitt's 2005 book, Freakonomics is highlighted. It is suggested that replicate is a verb that depends on the sentence's object, where replicating results means testing hypothesis, not merely duplicating methodologies.
