Dear All,

I just would like to point out that such errors are in no case a "privilege" of
archaeologists. One of the more spectacular cases in physics was this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion

At the time Fleischmann and Pons reported their experiment, eager not to loose the priority on it, serious physicist all around the world could not easily exclude its reality. Platinum stock market prices rose immediately for about 4 weeks.

Any knowledge management should be able to account for such processes, I'd
suggest as historical processes them selves.

All the best,

Martin

The stone with scratches/inscription and empirical data. When it was accepted 
that there were only scratches on the stone and not
inscriptions, in an ideal world the stone still must be kept to make the 
results reproducible.
It should be kept not only for that. It is (at a "metalevel" ?) scientific 
heritage: it illustrates a fine scientific gaffe :-)
