Whenever a research is done, you must reject or accept a null hypothesis (the one you consider is not correct) or your work hypothesis (the theory you think is must probably accurate or close to the truth) usually, when performing a research, you will not always obtain positive or statistically significant results, that validate your hypothesis. Is actually, not unusual that extremes (or extraordinary results) come out (unexpected for several reasons: incorrect size of the sample, improper selection of the subjects- a bias- lack of correct determination of the variable measured or failure to determine the type of the variable-numerical, categorical, ratio,etc-)

Positive or negative results are yet, results whether they prove or reject your hypothesis. Failing to establish a scientific hypothesis does not necessarily mean that they did something wrong, it just says that the hypothesis tested does not approach correctly to the epistemological truth (ultimately, any research is only a mere approximation to reality). Therefore, when two scientists deny sharing<em> unusual results</em>, they are acting unethically, hiding results that can mean something from a different point of view.

- Motivation: If David was especially motivated to survive the situation, because he has a happy marriage and three children, he might perceive the situation in unique ways.

A member of the Democratic party generally believes in a strong Central government that provides a robust social safety net for the people. In the modern age, Democrats are more hesitant to use military might overseas and would rather spend the money investing at home. Democrats are broadly in favor of a woman's control over her own body and support gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana. Support welcoming immigration policies.

Republicans:

A member of the Republican party in the modern era believes in a weaker central government with more power to the states. They broadly believe in the power of the market to provide and are interested in the private sector helping citizens to succeed. They believe in a strong military and in using it. Republicans are split along religious lines as to abortion and gay marriage but are united in their opposition of weaker immigration policies.
