The point I was making was that Heyerdahl was enquiring about the feasibility of a certain undertaking. A good researcher would surely not have approached the experiment with any prior bias (i.e., determined to prove that one or another set of people had succeeded in making such-and-such a voyage), but would have carefully examined the results, and only then come to a conclusion, or set of conclusions, supported by appropriate evidence.
