At a conference last week，I received an interesting piece of advice：“Assume you are
wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek ，a fellow psychology professor.He wasn’t
objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better
science，and for encouraging others to do the same.
To understand the context for Nosek’s advice，we need to take a step back—to the nature of
science itself.Despite what many of us learned in elementary school，there is no single scientific
method.Just as scientific theories change，so do scientific methods.
Assuming you are right might be a motivating force，sustaining the enormous effort that
conducting scientific work requires.But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal
attacks，and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles.Beginning，instead，from
the assumption you are wrong，a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer ，a
constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.
Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic，but it’s not so foreign to science.Philosophers of
science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction(元归纳)” on the history of science:
All of our past scientific theories have been wrong，so surely our current theories will turn out to
be wrong，too.That doesn’t mean we haven’t made progress，but it does indicate that there is
always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.
I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and the readiness to
accept the unknown(“there are things I do not know！”) along with a sense that we can do
better(“there are things I do not know yet！”)．It also builds in a sense of community—we’re
all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.Perhaps the focus on a
shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any
harm in scientific motivation or communication.
