Hailie is writing a psychology research paper. She has collected research from the past three decades, which her professor says is fine. What is confusing for Hailie is that her articles say different things. She finally asks you why all of the research has been published if some of it is wrong. You tell her that
A) Scientists rarely work together or review previous research, which can leave publications in disagreement with each other.
B) There is no review process in scientific publication; if someone writes well enough, the article will be published, regardless of its validity.
C) Truth and reality are in the eye of the beholder.
D) She must be wrong because nothing incorrect has ever been published in a scientific journal.
E) Part of the scientific process is testing and retesting a theory, to see if everyone reaches the same results each time; if they don't, the research may not agree.
