research and getting it less wrong

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Wed, 12/10/2008 - 2:07pm.

"more 'facts' will lead to more funding, more research to finding less wrong boxes"

Its a nice ideal, but sometimes the loop more "facts" and more research leads simply to "more 'facts" and more funding" without anyone actually getting less wrong, and sometimes even with people instead getting more wrong? Cf The pain may be real but the scan is deceiving.

Its an interesting question: can one say what kinds of "research" are more likely to contribute to getting less wrong?
