 In addition to this problem of weak dogmatism, Rachel Fraser (2022) adds a third problem of dogmatic bootstrapping. When Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher measured elementary electric charge with tiny charged droplets, they discounted some of the drops as misleadingly wide of the plausible interval for the true value. Drops centrally located within the interval were “beauties”. Editing out the outliers give Millikan a more precise measurement and a Nobel Prize in 1923. In 1978, the physicist Gerald Holton went through the notebooks and was shocked by how much contrary data had gone unreported by Millikan. Fraser thinks there is a vicious circularity in data purification.
