Yes.
It is pretty clearly shown in The Biology of Belief, by Bruce Lipton, and elsewhere that the intent of the scientist influences the outcome of the experiment. There are very few scientists who take the trouble to erase all intent from their experiment design.
Science enjoys certain fashion trends. Western medical science right now favors the germ theory of illness. Physics and astronomy are going after a unified Theory of Everything that will explain the workings of the universe from "empty" space to the to the organization of the largest galaxy clusters. It is virtually impossible to float theories that disagree with "global warming" or "fossil fuel".
