Which explains: http://www.lavoisier.com.au/articles/gr ... emails.pdf"The evidence suggests confirmation bias is rampant and out of control in both the hard and soft sciences. Many academic or research scientists run thousands of computer simulations where all fail to confirm or verify the hypothesis. Then they tweak the data, assumptions or models until confirmatory evidence appears to confirm the hypothesis. They proceed to publish the one successful result without mentioning the failures! This is unethical, may be fraudulent and certainly produces flawed science where a significant majority of results can not be replicated. This has created a loss or confidence and credibility for science by the public and policy makers that has serious consequences for our future."
And for those who think science is way more knowledgeable today, just go talk to any physicist. There have been zero changes to the standard model since 1973. Every single theory, hypothesis, and prediction made since that time has failed confirmation. (The Higgs was hypothesized in 1964)
