"Perhaps we'll never have the situation where a researcher will say I spent 3 years looking into this and didn't conclusively prove anything"
Apparently the researchers from Scripps who came up with the "universe in a grain of sand / Total Perspective Vortex" approach to measuring total ocean heat I posted about earlier spent 15 years coming up with that...
I wonder if they had other duties in that time.

I was basing my comments on the work of Ancil Keyes and to a lesser extent Millikan as well as more recent climatologists. But will admit that there are many honest researchers who do what you say and another group who hedge their bets by stating that whatever dearly held long established theory is weakened by their research is actually undamaged. Perhaps we'll never have the situation where a researcher will say I spent 3 years looking into this and didn't conclusively prove anything.

Whatever the report of the day says is bad for us the general attitude seems to don't worry next week's report by experts will say it is OK. In my opinion reports by experts on all subjects will soon be regarded in the same vein.
* Not restricted to scientific research as recent high profile sexual assault cases show.
October last year MSM went one better - two studies/papers on coffee in same week, one saying it's bad, one saying it's good.

"This method is a radically new way to measure change in total ocean heat,” said Severinghaus. “It takes advantage of the fact that the atmosphere is well-mixed, so a single measurement anywhere in the world can give you the answer.”

Uibhist a Tuath. From my own experience in doing research I'm not sure you are correct. After investing time and effort doing research and publishing, the last thing you want is a competitor (worse still a young turk wanting to make a name for themselves) coming out and proving you wrong. To avoid this you work assiduously to incorporate the worrisome data into your hypothesis or, at the very least when publishing you take great pains to draw to the reader's attention the pesky data that doesn't quite fit.
Or rather people who value their scientific reputation do this. Perhaps things have changed and I'm simply old fashioned.

At the present rate of production some of those people who paid $1000 deposit for a Model 3 (over a year ago now) will have to wait up to 83 years for delivery...
