Science should stick to experiments that have a proven track record of distinguishing competing hypotheses, like dropping balls off towers.

@MemberOfSpecies The only known way of determining whether or not an experiment disproves a hypotheses is to do the experient.
@superlativeish Exactly. If we are to be well-grounded in our choice of experiments, we have to pick ones that have already been done.

@MemberOfSpecies Hypothesis: [Experiment that hasn't been done before] correctly distinguishes hypotheses. Proposed experiment: Try it. -
@superlativeish That's too meta. Whether experiments work isn't as important as whether different weights fall at different accelerations.
