Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research is an ongoing process and the confirmation of a hypothesis is just one part of it. Sharing the findings with other researchers allows for discussion and replication to ensure the validity and reliability of the results. Discontinuation of all study related to a hypothesis just because it is confirmed would limit further understanding and progress in the field. Acceptance of the results as fact is premature without further scrutiny and replication.
