Are there some examples of "non flawed" research that is getting ignored? Because (as a non-academic) I feel like I'm seeing the same HN attitude that OP describes. No study is good enough for HN. There are always nit pickers that come out of the woodwork. For every science article about some study or finding, the top comment is always a variation on: "This study is flawed because..." Almost without exception. Also, the standard is so high: A single flaw found is grounds for dismissing the whole study as flawed.

My guess is if you raise examples of "good science" the HN peanut gallery will jump in to point out the flaws in that science, too.
