Attentive observation over decades can anticipate findings later confirmed by meta-analyses and neuroimaging.
Evidence
This argument — that corporal punishment teaches the lesson of power rather than the lesson of behavior — is, in 1929, not supported by the neuroimaging evidence that Season 4 assembled. It is not supported by meta-analyses. Korczak had neither. What he had was something different: fifty years of attentive observation. He watched what happened in rooms where adults hit children. He watched what the children’s faces did. He watched what they learned. — , The Rod and the Child, 8853

- QUESTION: Worth chasing: are there other pre-scientific observations later confirmed by meta-analysis, and is ‘fifty years of observation’ a defensible epistemic method?
