Yeah, it's in Thinking Fast and Slow. And IIRC, I found it in the intro of (at least) one of their papers.

This isn't replication crisis stuff. This is... one of the other bad things scientists do, using their descriptive research prescriptively.

(As a clinician, it's literally my job to use the descriptive results of research prescriptively, and when non-clinicians do that, they usually manage to do so in ways that are ghastly wrong, and also, from my perspective, glariingly obviously wrong, and slightly, or a lot, infuriating. But that's another long rant.)
