      Yes, quite often. I can read two different papers on the same topic that seem to find completely different findings. This is when I need to really think carefully and critically about why the differences may have occurred. This can often inspire my own work to try and find answers to these conundrums. It is important to remember that nothing can every be proved as true – we can only disprove theories and then make best guesses with the information left for us.
