👉 Preventing experiments is like trying to stop a bandit from stealing cookies, but instead of cookie crumbs, we're talking about scientific breakthroughs. It's the act of thwarting the natural process of discovery, like an overzealous cookie-saver putting a bouncer on a group of hungry researchers trying to bake a better cookie.
Example sentence: "The anti-pyretic experiments were preventing the very essence of scientific progress from being cooked up, leaving the world with just a handful of burnt cookies and a whole lotta unanswered questions."
