A selected history of expectation bias in physics. M. Jeng, Am. J. of Physics, July 2006 http://scitation.aip.org/journals/doc/AJPIAS-ft/vol_74/iss_7/578_1.html The beliefs of physics can bias their results toward their expectations in a number of ways. We survey a variety of historical cases of expectation biase in observations, experiments, and calculations.
Rethinking peer review http://www.thenewatlantis.com/archive/13/soa/peerreview.htm Note that in the first article, the author says "If the reader knows of any cases of expectation bias, either historical or recent, in their own fields, I'd love to hear about them." (And I'd like to hear more examples myself!) (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
