Should have a "You keep what you kill"- clause in academia. If you destroy somebodys hypothesis- you get to keep the grants they gained from that, deducted from their current grants. Make it viable to go headhunting and make p-hacking and other games + paper spam a risky endavour.

  • If you're going with p < .05, then 1 in 20 cases you'll be wrong based purely on probability.
