Actually, research funding comes from various sources. The research done reflects *reality*, not the whims of the person with the money. There is no promise of "desired" results; only the promise of some kind of result. A person may have a hypothesis about something, and may get funding from someone who thinks the hypothesis is correct, but if it is wrong, then it is wrong. The results still get published.

You have completely misunderstood what science is about.
