But wet lab scientists should be even more careful! They have way less control over the system they're trying to study than you do, so stats are the only security net we have to even attempt to do anything with the data we produce.

I also agree on the innocent until proven guilty part, but by now I've seen and talked to hundreds of people with the best intentions, who do not realise how important careful examination of the data is, so I'm growing a bit disillusioned.
