> If you are looking at human psychology? Looking at existing data in new ways is essentially p-hacking. I agree that the type of analysis is important, as is the type and quality of the data you're analyzing. You can p-hack in cosmology too, but it's not a quality argument there either. > And you probably won’t ever have enough data to define a “universal theory of the human mind”. I think you're underestimating human ability to generalize principles from even small amounts of data [1]. Regardless, my point was more specifically that we could use existing data to generate constraints to exclude certain theories of mind, which has definitely happened. | ||
