| description | Some widely held scientific assumptions have been discredited, whereas others are just inappropriate for many applications. Sometimes, a widely held analysis procedure takes on a life of its own, forgetting the original purpose of the study.

Refusing to publish these studies is hampering the advancement of science. Novel observations should be published so that other scientists can pursue new theory. |
