I think you should summarize
Really don't feel like watching the video
Psychology is infamous for shady research but not all of it is garbage. Plus much of it that is considered valid is not. For instance evidence based treatment and research on psych meds is total bunk.
Scientists can and have been playing with statistics to get their desired results.
Been saying this for years. Particularly those "Scientists" being paid by industry for only the result that industry wants.
Science isn't always science, a lot of times it's just whores.

That's why legitimate, independent peer review is so important - and those conducting the review must conduct it with true science in mind. And for the rest of the community, we must demand peer review before something it accepted as scientifically valid.
There are institutions and publications out there doing legitimate science and applying legitimate critique. I think that presuming that none of it is legitimate is a dangerous and unfortunate place for mankind. If we mistrust everything, we won't be able to fully understand where we are and where we need to go.
I actually just read an article about this. Quite lengthy, but basically a former Enron executive, turned hedge fund manager, turned philanthropist is attempting to eliminate bad science.

ah, thanks - that's why the most important step in the research process is 'can another scientist/team replicate your findings'
and i would like for us to draw a bold a line as possible between science (the research) and industry (the application of that research)
eta - what Chuck said
