"Reverse Scientific Method:
1)Draw your conclucion.
2)Select data,no matter how flawed,to support you conclusion.
3)Discard any data,no matter how valid,which does not."
There are a number of scientific discoveries based on this approach. You might be surprised by that, but brilliant men knew what the principle should be and when the data didn't fit they found reasons why it didn't fit. So they didn't throw away good data, but bad data in order to get to the truth. Sometimes this method is needed to have progress, although before you publish the results you go back and redo the study the correct way.
There is a corollary activity that should also be noted:
4) Demonize and marginalize those in the field who disagree or contend with your "findings"...
Interesting. You've just described what lawyers do.
I never thought about it this way before, but you could say that the global warming hysteria is what you get when you allow lawyers to pose as scientists.
