We are most grateful to the editor and reviewers who pushed our thinking, suggested better analytic approaches, and encouraged us to stay true to the spirit of preregistration. Cheers! 🥂

While these findings are certainly concerning, what I’m thrilled about is the process by which this paper came together. We, early career scholars, submitted this a preregistration in 2023 and went through seven (!!) rounds of revisions between stage 1 and stage 2 before it was accepted.

Read this and do not pretend not to have known what was happening. My fellow scientist, even if you can still get your next grant, everything will not be fine.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"
