Experiments with faulty design or inconsistent data:

-decreases the experiment's reliability and validity

- wastes time and resources

- destroys the scientist's credibility in their field

- may lead to issues of safety to the experimenter/s due to faulty design

- is discouraged especially in hard sciences where data obtained should be accurate and precise

Step-by-step explanation:
There are many reasons that experiments with faulty styles or with incorrect knowledge are problematic for scientists. One reason for them to be problematic is that if he or she were to poorly live what they're learning. as an example, somebody measured the mass of a book properly to be two pounds, and somebody else measured it erroneously to be one pound. differently, that faulty designed experiments and inconsistent knowledge will be problematic is lack of accuracy and exactness.
