The idea that the same experiments always get the same results, no
matter who performs them, is one of the cornerstones of science’s
claim to objective truth. If a systematic campaign of replication does
not lead to the same results, then either the original research is
flawed (as the replicators claim) or the replications are (as many of
the original researchers on priming contend). Either way, something is
awry.
