Scientific reform in the last decade has led to a wide range of proposed changes in how we design, analyse, report, and publish scientific findings. As the implementation of better research practices spreads through the scientific community, there is a risk of merely changing old flawed heuristics with new flawed heuristics. In this talk, I will give examples of new research practices that were intended to improve our science, but that are already used rather mindlessly, without improving anything. Ill also offer some reflections on what will be needed to overcome scientists' strong reliance on norms en heuristics, and actually improve the way we do science in practice.
