The Role of Social Science in the Replication Crisis

I was recently reading some old blog posts on overcoming bias from I think around 2007, 2008. And it was crazy to see people like friends of mine in the comments talking very credulously about various social science studies that we all now know are terrible. Should we have known at the time not to trust those studies? And I kind of think that yes, we should have because even though the replicas hadn't some people, some people did.
