Wasn't something like this actually done?

Robert Sapolsky mentions an obscure paper that actually did something like this. They did a meta-analysis of the average reported error throughout various disciplines in order of the physical size of the objects being studied (e.g., from cells to organs to etc.), and found no correlation between them. The conclusion was that this was evidence that philosophical reductionism was flawed. Fephisto (talk) 22:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Did you manage to find it? 172.70.57.203 08:49, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

But does the meta-analysis include itself? Technically, it too is part of Science... Artinum 172.70.91.151 13:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
