People overestimate their ability to run high quality scientific experiments. I think a perfect example was the claim of faster than light neutrinos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light_neutrino_ano...). it was experimental error. CERN sent a team of smart EE/physics folks to debug it quickly. This is consistent with my estimate that 90% of all physics labs aren't capable of building, running, and interpreting state-of-the-art scientific measurement and discovery.
