[tips] Failure to replicate

[Msylvester]

I do not quite agree that the failure to replicate (as in the Miller anhd 
DiCara studies) is ground for questioning the validity of a study.A 
replication may not be equivalent to the original study.Subject variables 
and environmental variables may vary.It could be that the targeted 
replicated subjects may be afrom a different gene pool.And there is always 
the possibility that the original finding was a fluke of nature or special 
circumstanceYogis have been known to exert control over  alleged autonomic 
functions. And as farfetched this may sound-who polices the intravenous 
procedurs to avoid contamination.I doubt there is a new needle or vial for 
each subject.
