@C7RKY There's no system for challenging power right now. This is deliberate in some fields, & inadvertent but still present in othersThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@C7RKY Plus, biomed is reallllly expensive, and takes a realllly long time to replicate. So, that doesn't really help the situation...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@C7RKY Also: a lot of what you see right now is biomed scientists being more "wedded to their hypothesis" than to their data. -
@DrStelling I know it must happen but it's still disappointing to hear it said. A hypothesis has no value unless it proves to be unbreakable -
@C7RKY well, more like repeatable. biomed doesn't have a physical model yet, so the hypotheses tend be vague compared to (say) physics -
@DrStelling I still prefer unbreakable I think. Or at least rarely breakable. In a medical environment, does that not determine risk levels? -
@C7RKY Heh medical science is still more art than science. High amt of inter-observer variance. Not-so-good.#workingonit
