    I think they actually do know what they are doing and therefore there hypothesis is incorrect

    They are perfectly following the scientific method:

    Set up a hypothesis (I don’t know what I am doing)

    Formulate a contrary null hypothesis (I know what I am doing) and try to prove it (if I know what I am doing, I will be able to do science stuff)

    Notice that your experiment actually proves your null hypothesis, therefore rejecting your original claim

    Panic, as negative results can not be published and a lack of publications threatens both the funding for your scientific career as well as your livelihood

    Bend the data a little bit and throw any negative data because everybody is probably doing this

    Proclaim you have proven your hypothesis

      “Of course I know what I’m doing! I just don’t know what effect it’s going to have when I do it.”

    The tone of this comic reminds me of this video which I find equally funny
