Reason: valid scientific claims come from well‑designed experiments (controls, randomization, blinding where possible), reproducible results, and proper statistical analysis. Publication on Wikipedia, a scientist’s prior reputation, or using only easy problems do not by themselves make a claim scientifically valid.
