@JohnHolbein1 With simulation you can highlight the relative importance of specific assumptions - and help demonstrate if there is an optimal analysis. You get convergence of results if you specify an appropriate analysis for the question.

@JohnHolbein1 This resonates with me; we used simulations so you could make principled decisions about analysis and see what consequences there were. This seems more sensible than just throwing the data at a load of analysts. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Let me take you back for a moment to 2018. A team of powerhouse psychologists have just published a (seemingly) groundbreaking article. The premise of the article was simple--give multiple research teams the same research question with the same dataset. Would teams with the same research question and the same data come to the same conclusions? The research question was: are soccer referees more likely to give red cards to players with dark skin tone than light skin tone? The results obtained by the teams differed extensively. Many concluded from this widely noted exercise that the social sciences are not rigorous enough to provide definitive answers. This finding was widely shared in the popular press and on social media. Fast forward a few years: a new (less covered) article comes out and shows that the main reason teams came to different answers was the original research question was unclear. Teams differed in their interpretation of the research question and therefore used diverse research designs and model specifications. When you reanalyze the data with a clear research question, a precise definition of the parameter of interest, and theory-guided causal reasoning, results across teams don't vary that much. From the authors of the new study: "The broad conclusion of our reanalysis is that social science research needs to be more precise in its `estimands' to become credible."
