- nonbel 8y agoThis is the best description of the main problem (testing your own vs some default hypothesis) I have seen: Paul E. Meehl, "Theory-Testing in Psychology and Physics: A Methodological Paradox," Philosophy of Science 34, no. 2 (Jun., 1967): 103-115. https://doi.org/10.1086/288135 https://doi.org/10.1086/288135 Free download here: www.fisme.science.uu.nl/staff/christianb/downloads/meehl1967.pdf Andrew Gelman (andrewgelman.com) has a great blog that often touches on this issue.
