Actually the post is ambiguous: did the authors want the original article retracted, or the replication by Hyndman and Bisin? I hope the former!

"Finally, it should be noted that when we shared these posts with Ariely and Wertenbroch a few weeks ago, they reached out to Psychological Science to request that the article be retracted. As of this writing, that process is ongoing."

The post is unambiguous if you make it to the very end, where there are particular statements from each of the people involved.

Look for:

> Klaus Wertenbroch […] indicated that he has asked the editor to retract the paper.
