Plenty. Even if results come out as a scientist suspects they would,
they should immediately be asking themselves about the internal

experiment. Plenty of things can go wrong, even if the p-values look
great. Unfortunately, scientists being the human and social creatures
they are, are not always as objective as they'd like to believe
themselves to be. Science, for better or worse, is a social process.
