  A vast body of literature addresses the complex nature of science's
reproducibility crisis. In contrast with this perceived complexity, some recent
papers from the discipline of physics suggests that irreproducibility does not
point to a systemic crisis, but is, on the contrary, a sign that the science
system works properly. These works, while acknowledging the difference between
physics and other disciplines mired in the reproducibility crisis, hint that
all disciplines could learn from Physics. The present work suggests that this
optimistic message, when addressed to struggling disciplines, may invite
complacency over other relevant dimensions of crisis, delay its solution, and
get into the way of a truly joint effort from all disciplines to tackle the
important social and environmental predicaments of the present age.
