Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for a Bayesian reanalysis of the reproducibility project's replication studies. One commenter cites it for the point that few of the 72 replications showed strong evidence against the original findings.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The Bayesian take on this issue is interesting.[0] In their analysis of 72 replications only 8 had evidence pointing in the other direction and with a strong Bayes Factor.
