No, but if the hypothesis were "lemons cured cancer", and decades of evidence had failed to show any evidence of lemons curing cancer, and the researchers are still saying "Hmmm, maybe we need to cut the lemons up in a different way" then I'd be disinclined to continue funding it.
- cryptoz 15y agoWhat if your researches had been looking at only 100 cells of the billions/trillions of cells in the lungs (for example), and they said they'd like to expand to 200 of the maybe 100,000,000,000 cells available. Do you still want to discontinue the search? It seems a bit premature at this point.
- hugh3 15y agoNo, but I'd want to see a better methodology than the one that can only check 1e-9 of the available search space every few decades.
