The scientific attitude of humility is based on the idea that researchers must be prepared to reject their own ideas in the face of conflicting evidence. This means that they must be open to changing their ideas and theories based on new evidence that may contradict their previous beliefs. It is important for scientists to remain objective and unbiased and to avoid blindly accepting new ideas and theories without first evaluating them critically. Additionally, scientific theories must be testable, and simple explanations of behavior may not always be the best or most accurate explanations.
