About

being as open as possible about what hypothesis you're trying to test.

Um and only nailing down any kind of hypothesis

After the fact, based on which of these possible hypotheses could be corroborated by the data you've gathered.

Um, that feels a little weird.

It feels like you're just looking for a win.

But on the other hand, isn't there a legitimate scenario in which you

start off exploring one possibility and that leads to a dead end, but then it leads you to a genuinely interesting discovery that's different from what you started off with.

that's

discovery, right?

Yeah.

So like what's the difference between being open to accidents and then doing this more craven

Uh being deliberately being wishy washy about what you're checking for at the outset.

And it seems like the mechanisms we have for that now are basically public shaming and the person gets fired.

That like that's jail for a researcher who commits fraud.

Right.

Or deny someone tenure and then they start working somewhere else.

But then only once in a blue moon some like individual gets scapegoated.

That seems like a bad system.
