      Replacing bad data with good data doesn't make the data better?

      Makes the data better, yes. But whatever predictions that failed made on the bad data are NOT validated by the corrected data. Because the entire search for corrections was made (or could have been) because of the failed prediction. Analogy: your prediction WRT Kamala Harris.

      I'll try. But before I start I'll point out that the fact that you need an explanation (unless your question was rhetorical) demonstrates that you don't really understand science. Science depends on prediction to validate theory (or hypothesis, or paradigm). When you use... 1/4

      The fact that the prediction is now correct based on ADJUSTED data no longer validates the theory. Science is mostly about developing and "proving" theories that explain how the universe works. An experiment where the theory failed, and the data was corrected,... 3/4

      ...To make it work, does not validate the theory. Thus, by correcting the data, they have invalidated all their efforts to use it to "prove" the current theory. Corrections may be right (IMO they are), but the strength of the theory is enormously weakened. 4/4

      Let's say you confirm that the correct data was transcribed incorrectly into your database. You have the original source data and the later typo version. So you correct it. Where did science go wrong in this example?

          If the original (incorrect) data validated the theory, nothing's gone wrong. If it didn't, and the corrected data does, science hasn't so much "gone wrong", as it still requires NEW experiment to validate the theory. The corrected data doesn't.

          The scientists didn't say that it was "corrected" data and have never corrected anything.

          Your clarification makes sense, but my initial reaction was like most others when reading ‘correcting the data’ which triggers me to assume ‘manipulation’. I didn’t pounce on you because I know I can’t read your mind!
