A fascinating book on this issue is Ian Mitroff's "The Subjective
Side of Science." It dealt with reactions of scientists as the first
moon rocks were being brought back by the Apollo missions.
In a now pretty old book (Tweney, R. D., Doherty, M. E., & Mynatt,
C. R. (1981). On Scientific Thinking. NY: Columbia University
Press), we excerpted Mitroff's book, among other things, and
discussed confirmation bias at length.
