   Not if E. Laureti is running the experiment.   
      
   In fact you need a expert to run your experiment if you want to get   
   reliable results. And well-run experiments aren't cheap. If you can find   
   one reliable expert, it's a lot cheaper to buy his or her advice than it   
   is to run the experiment.   
      
   The history of physics is full of deceptive and badly executed   
   experiments that mislead people big-time.   
      
   The published histories of physics tend to leave them out. It's like   
   evolutionary history - you concentrate on the success stories, because   
   the failures didn't leave any descendants.
