When a study has unsurmountable limitations, which make it impossible to usefully reason about the "results" of the study, is being frank about those limitations more useful to society than not publishing the study?
To me the obvious answer is "no, you toss it in the bin, or better yet you think for awhile and don't perform the useless study", but opinions can differ here.
- IAmGraydon 5y agoCompletely agree. The term "limitations" is being used here to mean faults. When your study has faults, its conclusions are of little to no use and only serves as fodder for the media. It should be binned.
