Summary:[...]suppressed hypothesis tests might bias the population of observed effects meta-analysts include in a review. [...]suppressed hypotheses might increase the possibility that others repeat the same flawed test in the future (i.e., ignorance of history). [...]there might be cases where an explanation for findings not predicted by the authors seems clear to the reviewer, but apparently unfamiliar to the authors who are perhaps less familiar with the literature. Does it serve the science to make sure the author’s misunderstandings are made public? [...]if the hypothesis is retrieved from the existing literature, does exposing the ignorance of the author serve science? I do not see how.
