In many areas of life, we operate under a default assumption. Take the criminal justice system, where a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. This principle ensures fairness, requiring proof before labeling someone as a criminal. Similarly, in medicine, we often start with the assumption that a treatment is effective until evidence suggests otherwise. This mindset is crucial for making informed decisions, whether in courtrooms or hospitals. The idea of rejecting the null hypothesis is about challenging assumptions and seeking proof, which can lead to better outcomes in various fields.
