RE: The Scientific Method Is Not Very Scientific

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Maybe we should introduce the "triple-blind study". Remove expectations from the equation. This was necessary when they tested people for remote viewing aptitude. Need to express the need for this in accepted terms like eliminating bias. Covering unknown fields will be the side bonus.

I would like to see studies where, though there may be motivation to fund it, the ones funding the study do not have access to it before the data, and maybe the analysis, are published.

The problem is the funding.

There are very few that pay for "science".
If you want a grant, you are basically signing up to prove what they want proven.

And getting someone, twice removed to do tests requires money, which most scientists are very short of.

But, i agree. We really need things like triple-blind testing to test, probably instead of "peer-reviewed" (which means your friends read your paper)
