Experimental design and rigor

Cursor screens hard for truth-seeking: caring more about what's true than about being right. Experimental rigor is where that trait becomes operational and it's the easiest place to lose a research deep-dive if your conclusions don't hold up under questioning.

Cursor doesn't publish its research loop, but a paper deep-dive and a live practical exercise both reward the same habits: isolate variables, quantify uncertainty and predeclare what would prove you wrong.
