Not necessarily. Proper research requires detailing the analysis that you plan on doing before conducting the experiment, otherwise a researcher is just data dredging/fishing for significance. So it's actually very important to call out bunk research methods when you see them as there are few acceptable responses that allow the conclusions to stay valid.
