In this regard, you might be interested in the large
and growing body of evidence, much of it cited by Prof
William Tiller of Stanford, which shows that
"expectation" (in the sense of 'belief') plays a
non-random role in hard science experimentation - this
can be a real problem in certain
difficult-to-reproduce phenomena (like LENR - low
energy nuclear reactions).

...this is a skewing of scientific results towards an
(inaccurate) belief or bias; and it is variously
called the 'experimenter effect' 'expectation effect'
or 'confirmation bias'. It has been shown to
measurably influences supposedly 'impartial'
experiments.

There is a foundation and website dedicated to this:
