> researchers are encouraged to leave out key facts

College admins or deans do not pressure researchers to lie. If they did the rest of the faculty would rise up and get the admins fired. This is not unusual. Particularly when right wing admins try to pressure faculty members.

Researchers do not try to "prove" anything. They gather data, then they develop theories to explain data, then they test their theories and if the new tests disprove their theories they develop new theories. This is endless work. Theories are constantly being change or tweaked.

Excepting of course CORPORATE "researchers" who are generally incompetent and so are hired by corporations to "prove" things and are paid corporate shills.

I will say that I've seen, on occasion, I have seen researchers leave out a fact in their conclusions. Facts they know will be used erroneously by climate deniers.

In other words a fact that a real scientists would not think was cogent to their conclusions, but one that an uneducated person who doesn't understand science might use to taint their conclusions. That's understandable, they don't leave them out, they just don't mention them in their briefs or conclusions because they have no bearing on the statistics.
