Statement/scenario: Shelia is a bright medical scientist. For years she has been working on a series of clinical studies that could establish her medical hypothesis that high doses of vitamin E can cure skin cancer. Each study in the series has added more evidence suggesting that the hypothesis is probably true. The last study in the series is crucial. It is a much larger study than the others and will confirm or invalidate the usefulness of vitamin E for skin cancer. Instead of confirming her hypothesis, the study suggests not only that her hypothesis is unfounded, but the doses of vitamin E are toxic and causing bad side effects in patients. She concludes that the study results are incorrect and there must have been some error in the collection of data.
