  • Keep pending expansion. I think there is possibly much wider use of this concept, and it impinges on questions of scientific method. If I write several different articles about the effect of global warming by the year 2010, all with different numbers, and manage to get them published in various obscure places, i can then write a single article in 2010 referring to the one that happened to be right, and showing how close I came.

  • Comment unfortunately the scientific method also refers to the journal used. So obscure magazines are entirely ignored by the scientific community, although even there we might find valid articles. More to the point, if the scientific method really works you are unable to write the same article with changing numbers and still get it published.
