A selected history of expectation bias in physics
arXiv:physics/0508199 · doi:10.1119/1.2186333
Abstract
The beliefs of physicists can bias their results towards their expectations in a number of ways. We survey a variety of historical cases of expectation bias in observations, experiments, and calculations.
