I can imagine that a dominant hypothesis could play a role in the predictions of future trajectories of climate on earth, but not so much for things like measuring past temperature / sea level rise.
To twist the analogy back to Alzheimer - all these scientists still agreed on the patient-level diagnosis of Alzheimer.
Depending on the complexity of the model it would take me at least a month for a single paper. What makes it fully unbelievable to me is the claim of detecting p-value hacking in many of these 130 papers while doing 3 papers every 2 days.
To make that claim for a single paper I would 1. have to be able to reproduce their p-value, and 2. spend enough time with the model to understand how/what assumptions were unfairly tweaked to get to that p-value.
Just running your own implementation of a model on your own dataset and getting an insignificant or different p-value is not enough. You might just have implemented the model wrongly.
