No. Because you have to be agnostic to the truth of the hypothesis. A good experiment does not try to confirm the hypothesis, a good experiment tests the hypothesis. For that it has to be open for disproving the hypothesis. Setting up an experiment with the goal of demonstrating a hypothesis and then doing everything you can to achieve that goal is exactly how the replication crisis happened. That is why p-hacking occurs. Of course scientists are biased, but they need to try to avoid it to do research. Embracing bias, "because everyone is biased" is ridiculous and legitimately insane.
