Josephson made an error of his own when he said: "Nature through its selective reporting, and its practice of returning papers reporting successful replications to the authors without refereeing them."
This ignores the very crucial case of the first such-submitted paper by Oriani. Nature _did_ put it through peer review and, after some minor quibbles, the referees accepted the Oriani's experimental replication of the P&F effect. Nature the proceeded to declare scientific evidence out of line with holy theory and refused to publish the paper.
