“I don’t get why “hypothesis unsupported” should not link to “publish results”.”

No need, there’s just a single link missing: Publish results > get rejected > tantrum > sulk > question life choices.
Once again the gist of science is left out: after an observation, the observation must be categorized with other observations; then a taxonomy needs to be created from which the hypothesis is derived. Real science always begins with observations that leads to a taxonomy. Linnaeus anyone?

I’m no scientist, but I don’t get why “hypothesis unsupported” should not link to “publish results”.
