Yeah but of course hypotheses don't arise ex nihilo but from a catalog of focused perceptions catalyzing conceptions which may suggest hypotheses encompassing novel ordering functions, innovations, ameliorations (or whatnot) depending on the field of study. If an individual considers a hypothesis of sufficient potential pragmatic value to research and document then, objectively, if negative results manifest these too need be reported as negative data germane to other researchers in the field. Problem is current academic culture is predisposed to reward only success. If your beautiful theory is murdered by an ugly fact (Huxley) then you don't get your doctorate or your departmental status diminishes since only positive results are reinforced. From this arises the temptation to be disingenuous or outright prevaricate, if you can get away with it. Does seem a cultural change is in order. Registering hypotheses which guarantees publication regardless of results may be useful.
