Writing in Gizmodo, Mike Pearl called cognitive surrender a useful new term but cautioned readers to keep psychology's replication crisis in mind before treating the experiment's results as settled, while noting he had not identified problems with the work.
"you should read up on the replication crisis before you take the results of any experiment as gospel. [...] That's not to say I noticed problems with these authors' work"
