Collection of data for statistical analysis [on hold]

I have a very fundamental question about statistical analysis:



When collecting data for an analysis, how can we guarantee the authenticity of the results of statistical processing/analysis in a modern society where I guess it is easy to collect only data convenient for the hypothesis we have?



I have tried to come up with numerous explanations with independence etc. But none of them make sense.



Thanks.

    You need to use good principles of experimental design or observational study design.

But it seems it was not much of a success. I cannot annotate my tests with many @...Test since they are now each bringing their own XxxTestContextBootstrapper. It used to work when they all used same SpringBootTestContextBootstrapper. @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @JdbcTest @JsonTest public class Test { @Test public void test() { System.out.printn("Hello, World !"); } } The error I get from BootstrapUtils is illegalStateException : Configuration error: found multiple declarations of @BootstrapWith for test class I understand I might be doing something wrong here but is there an easy way I could load both Json and Jdbc contex...
