Misconception: A Good Question Guarantees an Answer

Captions available

The idea

A searchable, answerable question is one the evidence could answer. Whether it has been answered is settled by the search, not by the question.

In practice

A well-built question about a rarely studied population, returning very little.

Where people slip

Finding little is a finding. It is not evidence that the question was built wrong.
