Explanation / Answer

Q4 - Hindsight bias

It’s also otherwise called knew-it-all-along and creeping determinism where the person should have predicted it coming but he/she didn’t. So they feel guilty of not expecting it.

Q5 - Researchers could not simply spout hypotheses, they had to prove them.

Science is about experimenting and proving things not just speaking what’s in your mind as in the case of philosophy which normally give rooms for discussions on abstract things which is a never ending process. In science, it’s about proving that your hypotheses will work.

Q6 - Control group

Control group is a group that doesn’t receive any treatment during the research. This group is a bench mark and the research results are analyzed keeping the control group’s scores as normal.
