Too often we take our black-and-white thinking and we do a child's version of hypothesis testing: we find a simple anomaly and throw out that theory. We don't do that in science. If we find an anomaly, we check our instruments. We make sure they are working right. We start to check the way we thought about things, because if something should have worked and it doesn't, we need to understand why. It might not be that the hypothesis needed rejecting. It means we may need to do more refinement and more nuance, and really try to see what's going on.Share
