Actual question, do you think preregistering basically this would be a useful thing to be able to show reviewers? IE "I am about to collect this dataset for exploratory purposes, stamped April 27, The Past."

I know ppl who wish to report confirmatory & have used this tactic to get out of reviewers pressuring them to add tests. But honestly I've started going the 'explicit labeling' route and like it quite a lot.

I'm far from the first person to say this, but as a field but our intuitions about confirmatory research (what it's for, and what should happen when we do it) are wildly off thanks to the last many decades of published work, and I don't really know how you fix s.t. like that

Yes, I use preregistration to increase confidence of interpretation even when exploratory - the skeptical reader can know that I did not do a infinitely-broad fishing expedition, they see the scope of the project, be it exploratory or confirmatory.

If you were unethical, you could do all the fishing expeditions and then just preregister the ones that worked.

If you were unethical, you could just go ahead and make up your data tho ;)

Exactly. No tool or method is safe if somebody wants to game the system.
