So let's talk about this thing you're labeling a "failure" for a bit. I want you to think of a lab scientist--white lab coat, hornrims, short hair--got him? Good. Now, think about what happens when he runs an experiment. Let's say he runs an experiment and the results don't support his hypothesis. What does he do? Does he put his head in his hands, weep and moan, and assume he is a failure because the experiment failed? Um no, he just matter-of-factly grabs a clipboard and makes a check in one of two columns. Then what does he do?
He runs the experiment again. He would be a very bad scientist indeed if he only ran every experiment once, then assumed that the single result (success or failure) is the way the experiment will always turn out, no?
OK, so maybe you should try your experiment again. Just sayin.
