I presume you're referring to rule number one on Fraud detection?:
Quote:
(1) The non observation of a prediction made by science is proof that the science is wrong.
The deception here is that it conveniently ignores the experiment itself. The non observation may be due to experimental design, the experiment not being sensitive enough or the simply finding the evidence is like looking for a needle in the haystack.
A non observation is only a null result if the theory is shown to be wrong.

There's something about Irving Langmuir's work underpinning these distinctions of yours, Steven.
Are they your distinctions or Langmuir's ??
Now that WOULD be fraud !
Cheers
