99% of doing science is being wrong and being happy about it

99% of the time, I make up statistics

But do you put work into the fake?

I like to invent P-values and fabricate not only participants, but their consent waivers. I sprinkle around terms like Tasseled Cap, Eigenvector, ANOVA, MLR, Covariance Matrices, etc.

Some people make up stuff because they're lazy. When my lies are complete, it would have been just as easy to do the actual work because I'm in it for the love of the game.

Some science is just

  1. Well this makes sense in my head, so ill experiment to check and prove im right.
  2. Huh, weird results, not what i expected.
  3. Trying again with different method/testing criteria/focus
  4. Still not what i thought, why is this happening?
  5. Oh thats cool, it turns out that X is actually happening and its because of some completely different thing i had never considered before, how exciting!
