Dude, even in present-day conditions the worst offenders of the replication science are in slop fields like “social psychology”, or in fields where the books are cooked by people wanting to appeal to investors (biomedicine) or thinktanks and ideologies (economics).

Even then, with all the perverse incentives and new lower integrity participants allowed to publish as a result of globalization, science is still working quite fine in a statistical sense. Most studies in real fields are probably not wrong. Fraud, intellectual laziness, and a complete lack of understanding of statistics poisoning the well of publications are real problems. But things are not that bad.
