Use of "incredible" in academic writing? 

In contexts such as "incredible amount of research" because I cringe and I hope the person stays awake at night thinking about how much of a pathetic excuse of a human being he is

I meaaaan  in experimental setups you try to prove it by trying to disprove the null hypothesis and then you get results and put them trough statistical tests to see if you can dismiss the null hypothesis because there is a significant difference in the means or other parameters (is that the word idc) that is caused by variation of the independent variable.

What do you guys do instead? Only (qualitative) analysis? I only had one seminar in linguistics but I know that some of my study mates write their thesis in linguistics and include a survey in their methodology.

Strengthen it or provide evidence suggesting that the hypothesis or theory is probable, but it's unlikely you'll be able to prove it. Because suddenly you find like 5 speakers who don't do it, or opposes from your claim, and then it's like ah shit time to rethink

Can you give an example for such a hypothesis? 

My main area of study is cognitive psychology atm and it's interesting to see other discipline's approaches for generating knowledge.
