But what actually happens is you do something you read in a paper, then you fail, get super frustrated, publish a paper titled "Doing X doesn't lead to Y", and several people suddenly start telling you they all knew that but never bothered to tell anyone.

Normalize and incentivize publishing negative results!!

That’s like 3/4 - 7/8 of science, the being wrong part!

Normalize and incentivize publishing negative results!

+ Normalize and incentivize attempting to replicate existing findings!

With these two recommendations we'd speed up discovery exponentially.
