That's actually pretty good. There is a movement towards publishing minimal results, such as those experiments. This will hopefully get rid of the need to publish only successful experiments.
In some areas there isn't even validation at all, it's just "we put this interesting thing in the expensive and exclusive machine, and these are the results you guys". For instance testing different fuel mixtures in a rapid compression machine, testing prototypes in a wind tunnel/flow rig/anechoic chamber, etc.
