Abstract

In this article, it is argued that, given the lack of a method scientists may have used to minimize their failures, a strategy applying strict criteria for ex-post evaluation of research, by rigid count of their outputs, will stifle rather than promote creativity and progress of rational knowledge. As a result, a somewhat ineffective science policy would ensue.
