Simulation run using Mislavsky et al.’s R code. We modified their simulation—which they used to claim that there was no evidence for experiment aversion—by replacing the 3 weakest studies (“Basic Income,” “Health Worker Recruitment,” and “Teacher Well-being”) with 3 studies that found a large A/B effect (“Safety Checklist,” “Walk-In Clinic,” and “Best Drug”). We used the same input correlation (r = 0.33) that Mislavsky et al. obtained from 99 Amazon Mechanical Turk participants. The overall comparison (Far Right) now produces evidence of an A/B effect, where the mean of the worst arm (M = 3.61) is greater than (and outside the 95% CI limits of) the mean of the experiment (M = 3.31).
