[QUOTE="mpe, post: 450352, member: 60109"] Belief in "pet theories" or simply dogma can lead to any actual science being ignored. Even replaced psudo and junk "science" where "conclusions" are written first and/or unexpected (especially if they are "politically incorrect") results are downplayed/ignored. An actual scientific experiment or study would attempt to "falsify" (rather than "prove") a hypothesis or theory. Part of the reason for science being hard is that scientists are humans who behave just like any other group of humans. Including not wanting to admit being "wrong" or show a peer (especially a high status one) being "wrong". (Politically it can be even worst if an "outsider" finds a major problem.) Sometimes completly daft "theories" only get properly examined when those who espouse them literaly die off. [/QUOTE]
