Why is the scientific approach described as "self-correcting"?

What will be an ideal response?


This term refers to the fact that the scientific approach is a continuous process that includes creative and rational thinking, empirical observations, verification and constant peer evaluation. A single research study is rarely considered sufficient to confirm a finding. A study must always be replicated by other scientists, perhaps using different methods. All conclusions are viewed as tentative and subject to correction if new evidence is presented.
