More From William James

[coining phrase "null hypothesis"] in relation to any experiment we may speak of this hypothesis as the "null hypothesis," and it should be noted that the null hypothesis is never proved or established, but is possibly disproved, in the course of experimentation. every experiment may be said to exist only in order to give the facts a chance of disproving the null hypothesis.

Artist Thinking Long
The negative principle negates. the positive principle creates. the negative principle doubts. the positive principle believes. the negative principle accepts defeat. the positive principle goes for victory.
