Great post, upvoted. (And the linked article is blowing my mind.) Just one nitpick:
writing by Bem advising young psychologists to take experiments that failed to show predicted effects and massage/​torture them until some statistically significant effect could be produced

Yes, they did not use such strong language, and the article was obviously intended to help advance the careers of young researchers in benevolent fashion, even if it was promoting a pernicious practice. I have edited that line.
