Maybe doing an experiment twice, even with a cost that is double, makes more sense so that we don't all throw away our coffee when coffee is bad, or throw away

Maybe doing an experiment twice, even with a cost that is double, makes more sense so that we don't all throw away our coffee when coffee is bad, or throw away our gluten when gluten is bad, etc... (those are trivial examples) basically the cost to perform the science in many cases is so minuscule in scale to how it could affect society.
- pvaldes 3y agoOne. Doing experiments is yet enough difficult and painful. Two. This drain of resources can't be done for free. Somebody will need to pay twice for half of the research [1], and faster. Peers will need to be hired and paid, maybe by the writer's grants. Researchers cant justify to give their own funds to other teams without a profound change in regulation and even in that case would be harming their own projects. [1] as the valuable experts are now stuck validating things instead doing their own job Would open also a door for foul play. Blocking competitors teams in molasses just trowing them secondary silly problems that they know that are a dead end, while the other team work in the real deal, and take the advantage to win the patent.
