Having recently read the long essay featured on the cover of "The Economist" October 19th-25th issue, "How Science Goes Wrong", it's really fun to see this. The Economist article goes into some depth on the failure and flaws in the peer review process: "Scientists like to think of science as self-correcting. To an alarming degree, it is not."
And Roger, especially painful for me, as a full-fledged toiler in the Happiness Industry and a non-academic Ph.D. consultant to boot, is the answer from Losada to the request for a response from the *American Psychologist.* “I didn’t have the time to prepare a proper response. I am not an academic, I am a consultant to business and I am fully booked for the rest of 2013. The demand for training in my model has taken all my available time. My priority is not to publish, but to attend my clients properly.” TRAINING iN MY MODEL?? Yipes!
