In case this isn't clear... You don't assume the result before performing an
experiment. Indeed, it's often better to perform an experiment simply to see
what happens, rather than trying to "prove" or "disprove" something.


What's so wrong with that? Google "scientific method". You start
with a hypothesis. Experiment then proves or disproves it. You've
got to be prepared for a negative result though, and others have to be
able to reproduce your results.
