Talk:Dan Ariely

message: Two sources have conflicting reports about his burns: the Boston Globe says "As an 18-year-old military trainee, he suffered third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body when a magnesium battlefield flare unexpectedly exploded in front of him."
Haaretz writes: "The accident happened when he was a high-school senior. Ariely was active in the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed movement, and he and his friends were constructing "fire signs" (from wooden poles and rags shaped into letters that are set on fire). Hoping for a more impressive effect, they decided to use magnesium." Given that Haaretz is more detailed  I tend to believe it. Mashkin (talk) 17:32, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a supreme court decision in the law suit from this accident that shows that Haaretz was correct . Dangling Reference (talk) 23:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This contradicts Ariely's own writings, which match the Boston Globe's description, so it would be very "interesting" if his burns are actually a product of teenage negligence and not military service. However, the link Dangling Reference provides is a dangling reference. 2620:72:0:1F14:E9B7:FD61:4EC2:8C4F (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

message: The research references in the research section has been criticized for good reason. See for example , . I think it would be better if that section contained something else, or is deleted completely.

message: The third paragraph of the "misconduct" section seems weakest, since it apparently describes some simple mistakes in statistical reporting that don't appear to rise to meet the misconduct bar. Since the other incidents discussed in this section seem much more problematic, it may make sense to delete it. Agreed? (One way in which this paragraph could be relevant is that it establishes a pattern of poor record-keeping.) DominikPeters (talk) 09:45, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
