The actual title is "What's Wrong with Social Science and How to Fix It". Not exactly a neutral title edit...

Especially as this comes from "a part of DARPA's SCORE program, whose goal is to evaluate the reliability of social science research"

Yeah. I couldn't fit the whole thing into the hard 80-character limit so I decided to drop the word "social" because I thought the subtitle was important to keep. I guess it's moot now that the title has been edited, I assume by a mod.


The original title is too long and I assume op thought the findings can be extended to all science anyway.

On the other hand, removing the later part as the previous submission did makes the title sound overly presumptuous, imo.
