   Not much effort is put into confirming or refuting undisputed results or   
   expectations, but occasionally it does happen.  For example, according   
   to theory muons are supposed to be essentially just like electrons but   
   heavier, but there seems to be experimental evidence that that is not   
   the case, presumably because someone decided to look for it.   
      
   What about even more-basic stuff?  For example, over what range (say,   
   multiple or fraction of the peak wavelength) has the Planck black-body   
   radiation law been experimentally verified?  Or that radioactive decay   
   really follows an exponential law?  Or that the various forms (weak,   
   strong, Einstein) of the equivalence principle hold?   
      
   I realize that it is difficult to get funding for things like those, but   
   at least in some cases the corresponding experiment shouldn't be too   
   expensive.
