Explanation:
En alusión a una hipótesis deshonesta o fraudulenta. Seguro el contexto ayuda, pero por lo aportado diría que "deshonesta" podría funcionar bien aquí.

  -> Muchas gracias, Katherine. Y sí, malintencionado podría funcionar, aunque cambia el matiz con respecto a deshonesta/fraudulenta. Como dicho, el contexto más amplio debería ayudar. Saludos

opaco, poco fiable, poco fidedigno


Explanation:
Un diagnóstico se puede calificar como poco fiable o poco fidedigno, opaco sería un adjetivo que resumiría estas caracterísiticas. Dado el tipo de texto que se muestra, yo usaría opaco.

poco confiable


Explanation:
La hipótesis en cuestión al no haber sido testeada, no se considera confiable, no creo que haga alusión a que haya sido mal intencionada.
