Someone do a sentiment plot with "goodness" on the Y-axis and years ago relative to writing no the X-axis. I won't be surprised if there's a positive correlation. Successes, new challenges, and shortcomings become apparent. Whatever worked looks like it was good principle in hindsight. Whatever hasn't panned out due to new challenges looks terrible. Cherry picking in order to build a case that allows one to write authoritatively doesn't make anyone a saint or cultural leader.
Therefore, when I see an article like this with such a broad, generalizing headline, I just think it's click-bait. Lost it's way? I've read some absolutely terrible papers. "Theory of the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life" by Erik Andrulis is an excellent example of such unfathomably speculative garbage. I've also read a huge number of well-done papers on topics in aerospace engineering and materials science. It's always on the reader to re-produce experiments if they depend on the result, to understand the paper correctly etc. This is what my professors did. If part of the community is circle-jerking, let evolution run its course. We used to treat Aristotle as canon in the western world. Obviously things get better over time.
Skimmed article. Old news. The fact that someone is raising the flag, saying "there's a lot of low-hanging fruit to use to establish yourself as a more accurate researcher," just means we will see more of such review activity, making the title seem inaccurate. You never know when you can free yourself up an adjunct professor position in exactly your preferred field of research.
