Science confirms or refutes obvious things all the time, that's still not bad science, just boring to some.

Isn't that your same point here, that it's boring/pointless, and that makes it bad?

This is a waste of resources that could've been spent somewhere actually productive for advancing the frontier of human psychological knowledge

Knowing a truth isn't a waste, they add up to greater discoveries. Are you sure it's not a personal grudge against psychology?

Resources are limited and this has already been studied before, it is entirely wasteful.

It is precisely and exactly why I respect psychology as a field of scholarly work that I am calling this bad psychology
