What gets me is that they’re not even trying to go back in time to some period where “natural” birth was the norm. Women had midwives to help them deliver their babies in the 1840s, and before that too, as far back as we have historical records of birth. This whole practice is just so senseless.

The set of effects he got the Nobel prize for (prospect theory), as well as much the heuristics and biases work he did with Tversky and co., wasn't part of the replication crisis afaik. So perhaps his book cited a lot of work that was methodologically weak, but his own scientific work was sound.
