This is very backwards. In science, the evidence for a claim is precisely how hard you tried to disprove it. This doesn't mean that you're wrong, of course, but

This is very backwards. In science, the evidence for a claim is precisely how hard you tried to disprove it. This doesn't mean that you're wrong, of course, but it's a massive problem.
- Retric 7y agoThat’s only a subset of experiments, the ideal experiment makes any result publishable. For example the search for a new particle, don’t find it that’s fine. Alternatively, any result that’s in doubt like salt’s impact on cardiovascular heath. Even better is really cheap experiments like analysis of existing data. That you can keep trying until you find something, sadly this means publishing datasets is a bad idea.
