I find this astonishing on many levels. One is that the guy didn’t seem to know this was a bad way to do science: he outed himself in a blog post about his methods.
Another is that when another scientist pointed this out to the journal in question, the response was... no response.
And last and biggest: having results that defy replication isn’t a “problem.” It’s a clear sign there is something deeply wrong with the study or the theory or both; it’s a fire alarm and they treated it like a snooze button.
