The "Amateur" is a PhD student now and has lot of citations on his google scholar. I am happy for him to have such a good impact on the field even though he started late.

It seems he has found his niche: finding flags in Psychology papers. His most recent publications are refutations of other papers:

* No Evidence That Twitter Language Reliably Predicts Heart Disease: A Reanalysis of Eichstaedt et al.(2015a)

* Through a womb, darkly: Methodological problems in a recent study of fetal visual perception

* Emodiversity: Robust predictor of outcomes or statistical artifact?


Sounds like he's directly addressing the lack of replication that we bemoan so much.
