'''Academician Burdenko syndrome''' occurs when a person brings a priori biased assumptions to a scientific research and in result fails to conduct impartial investigation and replaces [[scientific method]] with fabricated just-so stories, either out of own distorted convictions or under the pressure to present [[politically correct]] research results and their interpretation regardless of insufficient or contradictory [[scientific evidence|evidence]].
'''Academician Burdenko syndrome''' occurs when a person brings a priori [[bias]]ed assumptions to a scientific research and in result fails to conduct impartial investigation and replaces [[scientific method]] with fabricated just-so stories, either out of own distorted convictions or under the pressure to present [[politically correct]] research results and their [[Scientific discovery|interpretation]] regardless of insufficient or contradictory [[scientific evidence|evidence]]. If a [[theory]] or point of view is treated, in direct contradiction to [[Socratic principle]], only as a doctrine to be validated, and not one to be challenged, it is not regarded as being [[scientific]].<ref name="Hedtke">{{cite book
