Being interested in penguins, Paul wanted to study the effect of fast food hamburgers on the weight of penguins. After many tria
ls of trying to get the penguins to eat the burgers, Paul became frustrated at the fact that the penguins were losing weight and not eating any of the burgers. Why was Paul's experiment not a complete waste of time and resources?
