re: #773 jimc

Are you saying you don’t think there is any peer pressure *ever* to align results that on a subconscious level works its bias into the work? You do know you’re talking about mere mortals right?

Yep. Mere mortals who can make scientific careers out of pointing out the mistakes of other mere mortals. Any researcher who manages to falsify evolutionary theory can expect to gain tenure at an Ivy League university, fat research grants in perpetuity, and a major place in the history of bioscience. The fact that after 150 year this prized brass ring remains ungrasped strongly indicates that it isn’t there to be grasped.
