When a researcher rejects a hypothesis because the observed data are improbable under that hypothesis, he or she discloses a belief that the hypothesis has become improbable given the data. Again, I agree. But as Sriram himself points out, most of this research is in the areas of sensation and perception. Indeed, this contrast highlights the peculiar focus of social psychological research on objectionable behaviour and flawed thinking. Recent efforts to raise research interest in 'positive psychology' may restore some balance to the soft wing of psychology.
