Should we believe what psychological studies say when their reliablity is so weak?

I can agree with that viewpoint on the issue, but is there a better guide?

If you’re a parent raising a child, you have to make decisions like whether to spank or not to spank and you have to do that based on whatever evidence is around. People like Freud are clearly full of crap, but you could do a lot worse.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that no guide is better than a wrong guide.
