Science only advances by hypothesis and testing, and it certainly outs the bad actors when they're found.

Meaning that science only advances at a rate marginally faster than that of evolution. It's frustrating that my first (and only) scientific article essentially describes a negative result (examined, of course, in great detail) and was only published because it refutes the work of a leader in my field. Once upon a time, I thought I'd go into science and do something brilliant and significant...well, I'm wiser now...

I respectfully submit that what you did in science was an example of the method working at its best. Thank you for your contribution.
