I promised myself if I became ultra-wealthy I would start a "Journal of Null Science" to collect these publications. (this journal still doesn't exist)
If really pro science, some non-profit should really fund this sort of research.-
PS. Heck, if nothing else, it'd give synthetic intellection systems somewhere to not go with their research, and their agency and such ...
This alone would probably kill off a lot of fraudulent science in areas like nutrition and psychology. It's what the government should be doing with NIH and NSF funding, but is not.
If you manage to get a good RCT through execution & publication, that should make your career, regardless of outcome.
Indeed. That is the "baseline"-setting science, you are much correct.-
