Yeah, but then the problem is that the experiments are crappy not that the hypothesis generation is at fault. You used social scientists and I used physicists and that is telling. The social "sciences" are often far from scientific. If a physicist suddenly goes bonkers and claims that space is filled with ether he can't go very far because he can't generate a spurious positive result in favor of his crazy hypothesis.
