I never like thinking of pricing in this way. When you price something as $9.99, you're signaling to your customer that you're trying to manipulate them. Whereas a flat $10 is honest.

Integrity means a lot. The software I sell is priced in whole numbers.

However, the magnitude of effect claimed in the article is huge. It's the difference between selling at cost and a huge margin. Between doing well and shutting down your business.

Given the replication crisis is worst in these types of studies - the kinds of studies that beg to be the subject of TED talks - you have to wonder how reproducible these effects are.

Are we selling our integrity for bad science?
