Those are ways of looking at it, but experiments have definite structures and that structure can be exploited to create experiments that potentially reveal more information than another experiment.
If the experiment is constructed correctly, it can support validation of multiple hypotheses.
I would completely believe that most experimentation being performed currently is not structured to make further exploitation possible.
- nitrogen 11y agoI would completely believe that most experimentation being performed currently is not structured to make further exploitation possible. Could you provide an example of an experimental structure that is immune to the statistics being discussed?
- jsprogrammer 11y agoI should have clarified that statement as I don't think it's quite correct. It should read: I would completely believe that most experimentation being performed currently is not structured to make further exploitation, of the type desired/wished, possible. There are almost certainly facts available that are not discovered/discussed from past experiments. Many of them are likely trivial and/or not what researchers would wish or hope that their data could tell them. However, they can still be mined. In any case though, you would still re-run experiments to further validate/reject the hypotheses. That is simply basic science.
