Re:Registered clinical trials make positive findings vanish

I should have clarified that statement as I don't think it's quite correct.
It should read:
I would completely believe that most experimentation being performed currently is not structured to make further exploitation, of the type desired/wished, possible.
There are almost certainly facts available that are not discovered/discussed from past experiments. Many of them are likely trivial and/or not what researchers would wish or hope that their data could tell them. However, they can still be mined.
In any case though, you would still re-run experiments to further validate/reject the hypotheses. That is simply basic science.
Could you provide an example of an experimental structure that is immune to the statistics being discussed?
