Scientists like to find significance in non-significant results when it fits their biases.

I see this all the time and it really sucks to have to repeatedly push back against it because you know those people were taught the importance of proving results are significant and are just ignoring the problem. It's usually from people in positions of power with financial conflicts of interest.

It's even worse when you say results from an animal study are insignificant, because they'll run another study that's bigger or somehow modified. Either way, more animals die.
