Futility designs in scientific tests can lead to uncertainty when accepting the null hypothesis. Reversing the null and alternative hypotheses is not necessary to show futility or align errors. It's better to use traditional methods for testing if a new treatment is better than a control. If the null hypothesis is rejected, we know the error rate.
