It's always important in science to do the experiment or study, even if you're pretty sure you already know the answer.

Sometimes, the result will be surprisingly counter-intuitive. And other times, like in this study, it confirms what seems blatantly obvious.

What could it possibly mean when a man who identifies as heterosexual feels threatened by the mere existence of homosexual men? What could it mean???

"Turns out all we needed to travel forwards in time is to burn homophobes!"

And more proof is always useful. Science runs on it.

And sometimes, just sometimes, studies are framed to find what the experimenter wants them to find.
