The researchers should report on both findings, but emphasize the lack of relationship between diet and success while still mentioning the importance of the mother's occupation. This allows for a complete and accurate picture of the findings. Redesigning the study would be an option, but it may not be necessary as the researchers have already made a valid and important discovery about the mother's occupation. Focusing only on the mother's occupation and not mentioning the lack of relationship between diet and success would not provide a complete picture of the findings.
