It's strange, because a really "surprising" paper builds up the null as something people genuinely believe. But - presumably because of some special inside insight - the people involved realized it might be wrong, and so do an experiment to test & reject it.

There's also the screen + validate approach. First pass test many hypotheses (with some FDR). Then take the ones that pass and do a followup experiment. Now you expect 95% of those to confirm at p = 0.05, and for those to hold up, but some will fully regress to mean.
