The scientific method's greatest betrayal! On the left, we have the majestic research proposal—a glorious wooden stallion sculpture worthy of a Renaissance museum. It's intricate, dynamic, and promises revolutionary findings that will change EVERYTHING in your field! On the right? The actual results—a plastic toy horse duct-taped to a banister. The scientific equivalent of "we tried our best with the funding we had." This is what happens when your hypothesis meets reality and reality says, "That's cute, but no." Every researcher knows this pain. You start with dreams of Nobel Prizes and end up with data that barely supports a conference poster. The academic circle of life!
