Having your findings disproven isn't failing though right? You still added to the body of knowledge because we know more stuff. I'm not a scientist though so I could be wrong. Pseudoscientists add nothing and just do harm though.

No work is wasted if it gives a clearer picture of something. Even if you get disproven, it just means that you found one of the dark parts of the picture. Now sure, people mostly remember the ones that discover the brighter parts of the image. But the whole picture is still made of both the dark and bright parts. We don't just need to know what works, we also need to know for sure what DOESN'T work. Or else we'll never know the real bounds of something.

Now if you don't mind, i'll go back to slamming my head against analysis.
