  This is why people need to publish negative results: so future generations of PhDs don’t think their ideas that don’t work are “novel.”

    Yeah but then you get branded as the person that publishes negative results and that complicates things, and the politics around that. Its something only well established people in the field have the luxury of doing, unfortunately.

      The thing is negative results are often the most valuable. If a hypothesis is disproven, it’s gone. The search space is reduced and people don’t need to waste their time with it.

      All those glory hunters are the problem.

  I got scooped by my own PI in grad school. Had an idea for a next step, was told it’s a bad idea and not a good extension of the literature… then found out someone else in the lab started what I had proposed per the PI’s guidance.

      Oh, it did, for sure. It was a relief to leave that program, honestly.

  And then sometimes they are right and they have to work really hard to convince other people and they get famous and stuff. And then they think that their other ideas that are outside the mainstream are also genius because they had them, e.g. vitamin c against cancer or racism. But they don’t work really hard to prove them because they are famous now so why should they. They never find out that their terrible ideas are terrible and die hated by everyone.

  This perfectly describes my experience working with IT “professionals”.

    Yeah “professionals” and “experts” and “thought leaders” are a fun bunch
