That is why it is called the null hypothesis
Explanation:
The null hypothesis is always a hypothesis that is sought to be rejected. When the evidence is very clear, we reject the hypothesis outright. But when it is not so, we only say that based on the evidence presented, we cannot reject the hypothesis. It is similar to the justice system where a person is deemed to be innocent until proven guilty.
We can only say that the evidence on hand does not say he is guilty. But we can never say he is innocent.
