Data bias

The very idea of analyzing an apple’s fall—the process of selecting that fall as data to be considered (and relating it to the moon!)—illustrates the central role of hypothesis in scientific discovery. [...]appearances and associated data can be deceiving. [...]a hypothesis tells us what data to look for, what experiments to construct, and how to interpret findings. [...]Y&L’s interpretation of the funny heart current represents a misreading of the data-theory relation. [...]the focus on genes alone and organism-independence is misplaced.
