adversarial collaboration

Adversarial collaboration is a research approach where experts with opposing viewpoints work together to investigate a shared question. Instead of competing to confirm their own beliefs, they aim to understand each other's perspectives, test all ideas openly, and find common ground. This process helps build more reliable or balanced conclusions by reducing bias and disagreements that often occur when researchers strongly favor one side. It encourages transparency, critical thinking, and mutual respect, ultimately producing results that are more accurate and trustworthy with input from different viewpoints.
