ABSTRACT
If a designed experiment does anything at all, it should force the experimenter to organize. In many situations, pressures to produce results cause ill-planned, premature experiments. In a great number of cases, there is not enough prior “lab bench” knowledge available to formulate the proper questions that need to be studied. Here we fall into the human trap of investigating the obvious. In doing so, we violate the prime directive of efficiency by not deriving the required information.
