| #3 Now if we could just find a way to inculcate this ethic in society. I would be happy if merely all scientists lived it, instead of only some of them. The easiest way is to require duplication by the lead scientist's group of key experiments referenced in the publication. The extra cost would be offset by a severe reduction in junk science being published, not to mention done.... and a drastic pruning of references. |

| #2 ...that would allow others to duplicate the experiments and compare the results... And there is the lynch pin of REAL science. Yes they made a mistake but they owned up to it and stood on the foundation of repeatablity. Now if we could just find a way to inculcate this ethic in society. |
