“It hadn’t occurred to us before, but if the theory was right, the data we had collected for our experiment could make us millionaires. We debated the ethics of the situation. Seconds later, we started to analyse the data.”
- Richard Wiseman
(Referring to a study where his team collected lottery predictions from both lucky and unlucky people, to see if luck could influence a chance event like the lottery. It couldn’t. He then proposed that whether someone is lucky or not was based on things that they could control. See How to be Lucky.)
