Frankly, I have nothing but respect for the authors of that paper after reading that comment. Even if they're wrong, which they admit they might be, at least they're working hard to evaluate their hypothesis, and their opponents are a bunch of journalists and internet commenters using terms like "their article is just 'bro science'." Despite the critics' lack of respect, the authors response is polite and informative.
- cLeEOGPw 12y agoThere is a culture of no respect of negative results in science. Although they are as important as positive, for some reason even scientists are actively avoiding to, for example, test old results to confirm them right or wrong, and instead they feel like they must do something absolutely new. After that there comes many contradicting studies and nobody putting much effort in resolving them.
